Best Answer

There is a safety mechanism that prevents you from removing the key when the car is not in park, sometimes the solenoid could fail, or a fuse may be blown.

If you take off the cover around the steering column, you'll see a white, plastic device behind the switch cylinder. At the bottom, there's a metal button you can push to release the key lock.

It's possible to remove the device altogether without causing problems, but you'll be able to turn the car off while you are in gear, which could be a problem.
