How do I get my stuck key out of the ignition?

Asked by Rocky Jul 22, 2020 at 03:21 AM about the 2005 Pontiac G6 Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My key is stuck in the ignition and it
won't come out, at firstit would do it
every once in a while and you could
jiggle the key and it would eventually
come out. Then I read the thing about
jiggling the steering wheel I tried that
it never worked so then I read about
the shifter cable cramping up but
sometimes I could get down there
and jiggle the shifter cable and it
would release the key. Now it won't
come out at all. Also I have the check
engine light on and I know they're like
it's a picture of a car with a wrench in
the middle, and I know that the shifter
does not click back into Park you
don't have to push the button to move
the shifter it just moves I don't know if
either of these has anything to do
with it but I figured it was worth the
ask.

I believe that since the shifter moves freely without the button, it won't let your key go without locking in park. Been doing it intermittenly until it worn out to the point it's out for good.
