After parking the car yesterday, the key seems to be stuck in the ignition. The car turns off fine but the key will not come out. I have sprayed some WD40, but this still did not help. I don't know what else to try, I don't want to take it to a mechanic as they will probably change the whole ignition. There must be another way to get the key out. Does anybody have any suggestions ? All help much appreciated. Cheers.
