My key gets stuck when I turn the car off. The transmission is in park and the handbrake is on, the steering wheel isn't locked. I'm worried one day it won't come out and I'll be stuck somewhere.

Hi,

If the key is hard to remove, try lubricating the tumbler, where the key goes. Sometimes that will take care of the issue.

Take a look at this link. You may find it helpful. Also, it describes and explains how to lubricate the key cylinder tumbler.

Let me know if that helps.

Take care,
