key is stuck...wtf?
So last night I get home and shut my truck off and the key is stuck in the slot. I tryed to pull it out and it wont. It still turns on and off and doesn't feel like its draging or anything. I messed with it for a few minutes and just gave up. Any ideas?

Try this, push on the little silver dollar looking that surrounds the key while jiggling the key at the same time. It works for getting mine out.
Edit: You'll obviously have to use both hands while using this technique.

My wife done this once and I had to drive 30 miles to get to her and when I get there I put it ALL the way in park and pull the key out! Lol she said well why did they make it that way!
