This 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.

We'll divide this question into two sections. Ignition key lock is defective if: 1. Key is hard to insert or remove. ( try a little WD40 ) 2. Key doesn't spring back from start. 3. Key doesn't find the detents (stops) for: lock, acc., run. Then the Ignition Key Lock is defective, and usual problem. Ignition Switch: This is much harder to detect. You will have to get the wiring diagrams for your ignition switch, remove the switch, and check each terminal for defects. The usual problem is a broken wire in the system. If you have a specific problem, like not starting, then reask your question with the sympton.

It will not hurt anything to leave the key stuck in the ignition on ACC in a Mazda van for short periods of time. The ACC slot on the ignition allows the driver to use accessories such as the air conditioner and radio without the car being in motion. If the key is left in this position for too long it can run down the battery in the car.
The key is only available from the dealer.
To remove the "key" ignition, insert a small screwdrived in the hole directly below the ignition in the column. You will need to have the key in the ON position otherwise the ignition will not come out of the column.
