I had that happen, It was my "neutral" switch as my friend called it. A little tiny switch underneith of the center console about 5 inches from the stick on the left was pressed down. We released it And It let me take my key out.

Good that you fixed it.

Mines picky too and Im the only one that can get it on the first try. Everyone else thinks theres a problem with it, but they don't know the trick.

(de de de question) is the car in park?

Quoted post

i just want to say that that makes me laugh because 3 or 4 months ago, I did that. I must have called my entire family to see why I couldnt get the key out of the ignition (I was at work). It was the same day that my fiancee was getting my Fiero towed from school because the fuel pump went, so he was irritated to begin with. Needless to say, he stopped by and came into the store with my keys and simply said "hey dumba$$, you didnt put it in park". i felt like a jerk. i can blame it on being blonde though 0

Don't worry, I have done that before also. It can very unsafe leaving the car in gear though. I sure hope your parking brake was on while your car was setting in the parking lot in Drive.

If you were to open your center console where the shifter is(its in all the black mechanical crap in there., you would have seen a small silver ball and joint type socket. If the ball has come out of the joint, then your key will not come out. Just click it back in place and your good to go. I think you just lost $141, yeah its an "ignition" problem
