Mine has the same problem...
just put the tranny in gear and back into park...try this over and over... it works eventually..., also try turning the wheel... before putting it into park... not scientific, but it works... |

Re: key stuck in ignition?
there is a small hole underneath the ignition, just remove the cover(it's a little round plastic piece) then push something in there and it will release the key.

Re: key stuck in ignition?
