There are several things that will cause this.
If the key will turn the car on but not come out of the ignition check to make sure the car is in park and the shifter is fully in position, if the shifter is on the floor make sure the button comes all the way out, if it is on the column make sure it is fully back. This is the most common problem.
If you turn the key and the car will not start check to make sure your battery isn't dead or has a bad connection, i had a Pontiac Grand Prix that did this. fix the battery issue start the car and the key should come out.
If the key will go in the ignition and not move, make sure the steering lock release isn't whats holding it up. Just apply pressure to the steering wheel and turn the key. This activates when the wheel is turn when the key is not in the ignition, just apply pressure the way the wheel was turned to lock it and turn the key, if you're not sure you only got to choices.
One of these methods should do the trick, if not you may have to consult a mechanic to troubleshoot and fix the problem.
how to remove key stuck in ignition switch in Chevy colbalt
Well, it sounds like the chip that is in your key may have broke or got stuck on a part of the ignition. I had that problem. This happened not long after I had had to have the ignition replaced?!?
There should be a lock on the ignition a push button that you push and turn to remove the key
A guy has stuck his key in your ignition
1.) Insert ignition key 2.) Move the key from LOCK TO OFF, THEN PAUSE, 3.) Move ignition key to ON/RUN 4.) Move ignition key BACK TO OFF 5.) Move ignition key to ON/RUN 6.) Move ignition key BACK TO OFF 7.) Move ignition key to ON/RUN and STOP THERE! The THREE MOVEMENTS from OFF to ON/RUN should be done in LESS THAN FIVE (5) SECONDS. You then read the codes where the truck's odometer shows TOTAL MILES, NOT TRIP MILES. (NOTE: FOR EXACT LOCATION OF KEY POSITIONS ON IGNITION REFER TO YOUR OWNERS MANUAL.)
To remove a key that is stuck in the ignition on a Peugeot 406 HDI, make sure that the car is in park. Then try to remove the key. If this does not work, spray the ignition mechanism with WD-40 after pulling out the key as far as possible. Then work the key in and out until it comes out.
