If the key won't release when the vehicle is in park, it may be due to an issue with the ignition lock mechanism, a malfunctioning shift interlock system, or an electrical problem. Additionally, some vehicles require the brake pedal to be pressed before the key can be removed, so ensure that the brake is engaged. If these checks don't resolve the issue, it might be necessary to consult a mechanic for further diagnosis.
If the car is not in park, it wont release the key. If it is in park, there is a little switch underneath the prndl indicator that is bad, causing the car to not release your key.
If your battery is dead it wont come out of park. it has a solenoid that has to release ,if battery is dead it wont. hope this helps.
It could be thjat it is not in park. If not put it in park it should start right up.
That just happened to me, check if its in park. My truck wouldn't start either when the key was stuck, but it was still in drive. Otherwise are you aware that there is a release button? At the time I can't get my key out now either, but I think its cause I took a hammer to the release button before I realized it was in Drive.
try putting your key into the park lock hole right next to the gear stick. it looks like some kind of key entry. This was my problem, but I jerked mine out of park.
Do you have it in park? I think it wont let you take out the key if it isn't in park. Hope this is of help.
Take it out of reverse.
Move the steering wheel slightly and the key should come out.
The neutral safety switch, release switch, or brake switch is bad.
BAD SAFETY SENCOR
You might have to crawl intoi the trunk thru the back seat to release it..
first thing,check your brake lamps,if the lower brake lamps do not work the car will not come out of park because of a safety feature that requires you to press the brake pedal to shift out of park. the stop lamps provide the power to release the shifter,if this is the case you just need to fix your brak lamps,most vehicle have a featue to enable you to release shifter in emergencies.try turning the key to unlock without turning the dash lamps on then shift to nuetral and start the vehicle,if this doesnt work there should be a plugged off slot by the shifter that you can insert a key to release it
