Sounds like the key and/or lock is worn. Try appling a graphite lock lubricant to key and lock assembly. Could also try using the spare key, it may not be worn as much.
Why would your key get stuck in the ignition numerous times on your 1998 Isuzu Rodeo?
Your ignition may have some dirt in it, or it may be gummed up. Try putting some dry graphite lubricant into the lock. A spray graphite lube will work too. Put your key in and pull it out several times to work the graphite in to the pin tumblers. Your lock should work much better now. Also, some anti-theft mechanisms on steering wheels can stick if the steering wheel is putting force on the lock mechanism. Try turning the wheel back and forth a little bit while trying to remove the key. Good Luck. DaytonaHead.

It depends on what the indicators are. Usually lubricating the lock with spray lubricant like Triflow or WD40 work. Never use graphite in locks as it tends to get clogged in the springs. If the lock is difficult to turn after this, then there might be a linkage problem which would require removing the door panel and finding the bind or other issue.
