∙ 12y agoThis happened to my Ford Taurus SHO. I couldn't get it out for nothing. I ended up just leaving it in and next time I drove it and parked I shut it off, I instinctively pulled on it and it came right out. Other than that, I don't know what you could do.

∙ 14y agothe vehicle may appear to be all the way in park, but the lever that releases the key may not disengage from the ignition. Sometimes, pulling the lever toward you, shoving hard to the left while firmly pushing the shifter back towards the instrument cluster will make it possible to get it out. Also, holding it there and wiggling it back and forth while trying to turn the key may free it up. There is something that needs to be adjusted or replaced, but this could help get the key out at the time.
I had the same problem with my husbands 1990Ford F250. I couldn't remove the key no matter how much I fiddled with it. It was suggested to me by a locksmith that I try graphite in a squirtable tube, which I did. After a little bit of jiggling it came out. However I have not been game to put the key back in as yet!
Good luck!

∙ 15y agomost common reasons for this is the shift interlock has come loose. It's a safety feature that makes it impossible to remove the key unless the car is in park. GM has notorious problems with the interlock mechanism coming lose or wearing out. try slamming it in and out of park a few times to see if it will release the key. If that doesn't work u need to get up under the dash and trace the cable that goes from the center console to the steering column. There should be little lever you can pry back with a screwdriver to release the safety lockout. If that works you will most likely want to replace the interlock. If none of that works you may have a broken tumbler or collapsed spring in the lock cylinder in which case you should take it to a pro because you need special tools to remove the lock cylinder and rekey it. Hope that helps!
