The car is running and you cant get the key out of the ignition in a 1993 Buick Roadmaster?
I have this same problem. Presently I pull fuse 13 to shut off the motor and then disconnect the negative battery cable. If I am going to be using the car within 2 or 3 hours I leave the cable connected and just pull the fuse. I am told that I need to have a new tumbler lock put in. The steering wheel needs to be pulled and the air bag disassembled. Sounds expensive to me! I am trying to get someone to bypass the lock and put in a pushbutton starter.
