Can't take the key out of the switch

The very first thing to do is to make sure that you have the key in the "off position." A common mistake is turning the key too far, and you can tell this is the case if you can still play the radio but the car is off and you can't remove the key. Likewise, you want to make sure that your car is in park. Automatic cars won't let you remove the key if it is in any position except park.
Jiggle the Wheel The next step would be to move your steering wheel gently back and forth while you try to take the key out. At times, the steering wheel position locks the ignition, so simply turning the wheel may let you take your key out of the ignition.
Check the Battery Depending on your car, your Key Stuck in the Ignition if the battery is dead. If this is the case, don't try to remove the key until the battery is at least partially charged.
Use a Bobby Pin If you have tried all of the other options and nothing works, you can get creative with household objects. Sometimes pulling the key out with a pair of pliers will work, but never jerk it side to side, as this can lead to it breaking and even worse problems. If you have a bobby pin or similar object handy, you can take off the small cap that covers the access port for the ignition lock override and press it lightly with the bobby pin.
Try to Loosen It Sometimes loosening the key with something like electrical lube or silicone spray will also help do the trick and get your key free. Once again, be careful so the key doesn't break off in the ignition.

Why can't I remove the key from the ignition of my 2007 CTS? I can't even turn the ignition all the way to the off position

Make sure transmission is in Park. Key will not come out until ignition is fully off and ignition will not turn fully off until gear selector is in park

Key stuck in ignition

Make sure that car is in the "park" position when you try to remove key. Press brake when moving from gear to the park position and make sure that even if the park is selected - that the car is actually in park.
There should also be a bypass switch that is located somewhere close to your gear selector (check manual).
Long term fix - take it either to dealer or mechanic.

Ignition key stuck in 2003 Grand Prix

If you have an auto trans, check to make sure the car is in park. If the shift lever is even slightly misaligned, (even though the indicator says PARK) your key won't come out.
Try spraying the tumbler with powdered graphite.
It is a common problem, and I found two possible answers. The ignition plunger in the ignition switch or the Park release solenoid located in the center console. I've heard that when the solenoid sticks it prevents your key from being released. I have not fixed mine yet, I just use the inside of a ball point pen to release the plunger by sticking it in the access hole under the ignition.

97 Celica - Key stuck in accesory position

while in park, press shifter firmly even farther above park. Hold shifter and turn key.
The linkage may need adjusting. If this does not help the situation, then the pins inside the ignition are not getting pressed down because key is getting worn. You can try to tap around the ignition lightly with hammer to shake the pins loose.
