I can't get the Keys Out of the Ignition when I go to Park the Car??? The Car runs fine and drives fine, it just won't Release the Keys, and it Will Run Down the Battery, if you Don't get the Keys Out of the Ignition !! AND My Car Does Not Have that little "Springie Dilliey" under the Steering Wheel, that everybody keeps talking about, I wish it did !! Somebody got a Match??No But I though about it!!!
SOURCE: MY KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION..IS THERE ANYWAY
You may be restricted by the shift lock, Press the shift lever FULLY into park. This may need adjustment....While shifting, observe the steering column, sometimes there is a portion that moves, and this could be manually assisted, until you get everything adjusted.

Remove the brake caliper
Remove the disc, (rotor)
Remove the 34mm nut on the axel shaft
Remove the three (3) bolts from the back side
You will need a wheel puller (three jaw will work well)
Place the puller over the hub and tighten, this will push the shaft out of the hub. Now you have to pull the hub assy. out of the mounting bracket. I found hitting each side,of the hub with a lead hammer to work well. Don't forget to disconnect the ABS senser on the back side of the hub assy.
Do not over tighten the 34mm axel nut when you install the new assy. If you use an impact whrench on it you will damage the bearing.

Hello Again, Say this is the Guy with the PONTIAC AZTEK, and as I reread my Question, I realized in my Frustration I didn't Explain everything just Exactly Right, so for that, I am sorry! The Keys will come OUT Sometimes, but not All the Time, and it's always when your in a hurry or in a Major Bind you know! And I have found No Method to this Madness with the Doors, Lights, Locks, Remote Entry, Steering Wheel, Brakes, Lights, etc. or any thing you could Possibly Think Of !! And with the Keys Stuck Over Night it will Run Your Battery Down! Sometimes I can wait just a little while and just Open the Door and They'll come Right Out, but you Never really Know for Sure!! And I don't want somebody Stealing My Car you know, By leaving the Keys in the Car, why you can't do that in the city !! And I have to disconnect and Charge my Battery at lest 4 to 6 Hours every night, just to stay up with this Predatory Short in the System!! Well It doesn't Burn anything up, it just Runs your Battery Down!! With the Keys Stuck in and the Computer is suppose to turn Everything Off after you leave the vehicle and it can't do that, with the Keys Stuck in the Ignition!! The car runs fine and you have All positions, "***, Lock, Run, Start", on the Switch working fine, but it just won't let the Keys Come Out !! And Thank You, Very Much For your Reply!! okieboy7...
I had the same problem with mine. at first I was told to make sure the steering wheel was straight before putting in park, that worked for a short time. the end result was the linkage. when putting in park it wasn't registering that it was in park so it wouldn't release the key.
