Well first I was going to ask what would cause this issue...I thought it was the ignition solenoid (or whatever the thing you put the key in is called). But after further investigation I realized that its the shift mechanism that makes it so you have to be in park to remove the keys. When I put the Alero in park, they key won't remove until I physically hit the shifter, then it clicks and my key comes out perfectly fine.

It has been getting worse the past couple of days so I'm starting to worry about it. I suspect maybe a spring has gotten weaker or something and its not putting enough pressure on the mechanism to make the Alero realize that its in park. Like I said, I have no idea how the Park/key system thing works, so any incite or help is appreciated.
