Default Ignition switch
Ignition switch won't turn to lock position to remove the key. Does anybody have an idea where the problem lies?

Is the gear selector fully into Park? Have you tried turning the steering wheel a different position when the key won't turn to lock?

I apologize if these sound silly, but let'* rule out the obvious.

Have you tried turning the wheel in either direction while turning the key? Try moving the shift lever a few times also.
