When the steering wheel is locked, you cannot turn the steering wheel or remove the key. In this situation, gently wiggle the steering wheel back and forth while moderately turning the key, which may successfully unlock the steering wheel.
Additionally, in automatic transmission vehicles, if the gear is not properly in the P (Park) position, it can also prevent the key from being removed. To resolve this issue, ensure the gear is correctly positioned, restart the vehicle, and shift back into the P position.
Lastly, a common reason for the key being stuck is the presence of foreign objects in the keyhole. If this is the case, clear out the debris in the keyhole, or apply a small amount of lubricant to the keyhole to facilitate easier removal of the key.
If these methods do not solve the problem, it is advisable to contact your local repair shop or dealership for professional assistance. Avoid forcing the key, as this could worsen the issue.
