Default Damn @#$% key!!!

Okay, am I the only one that has problems getting the key out of the ignition? I'll go to turn the car off, and maybe 1/20 times the key will only turn to the "1" step, and will still be locked in. I cannot get move it to the "0" position to remove it. I then have to restart the ignition ("4" position), wait a few seconds, and try again.

When this issue does happen, it usually takes me a few tries to get the key out. Is this normal, an ignition issue, or am I a few cans short of a six-pack?

I may be a few cans short of a six pack, but do you push it in when you turn it.

Try turning the wheel slightly to the left or right after the car is parked, sometimes turned wheels put a little resistance on the sterring wheel making it more difficult to remove the key.

The key should be easily removed from the ignition switch.

Push in the key when trying to take it out. If that doesn't work try what scuba_steve said. sometimes when the wheel locks before you get the key out the key will lock at the same time.

It really shouldn't be an issue. In fact its NOT an issue.

It's one of the above...
