Q: I just put my car and park, and the ignition key wont turn all the way back to release the key. It turns once back, then stops.
I drove it afterwards, used the parking brake, released it, then put it in park again and still, only turns back halfway. Its Sunday, and nobody is open, and I realllllly dont want to leave my key in the car till tomorrow. Help!
My car has 17700 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
A few things to try. 1 - Wiggle the key in the ignition while trying to turn it. 2 - Move the shifter to neutral and back to park a couple of times, then try to turn it again. 3 - with the car in Park, push the car back and forth, like you were trying to push a car stuck in the snow.
