My car key is stuck in my ignition?

you'll need to take your car to a locksmith and get the ignition removed then replaced , a stuck key tells me the ignition switch is damaged and although they might be able to remove the key , repair the ignition and get you a new key it won't be as cheap as just getting a new ( or used from a wrecking yard ) ignition installed

take your phone and wallet with you at work today , use a pack or just your pockets or ask if the boss will keep them in his desk for the day then look into getting it fixed

the last time I had this done it cost around $90 for labor and $30 to buy an ignition at a wreckers , not cheap but not too bad either and you get a new set of keys and perfectly working ignition

I'd suggest that you get a copy of the key made (so you can lock/unlock the doors and get in still) unless you have a spare. Just in case it decides to never come out. Then as soon as you can.. take it to a mechanic, May have to get that entire part replaced. I have heard this can be a problem especially if you keep your keychain kinda heavy/full. The key slot isn't ment to be able to hold a ton of weight on the key.

Im guessing your wheel is locked turn wheel all the way to left then right then try to turn key

Ignition cylinder is worn, & needs to be replaced. You can get a new one with a new key in E-Bay.

the alarm system got activated. that is why it will not release the key.

its a dealer or locksmith repair. sorry

make sure its in park, mine will say its in park but wont let the key out of my ignition, but if i press up a lil but more i will hear a click and yea, if not that idk

It's a 1998 Cadillac Catera (I know, terrible car but at 18 with no help from my parents it's all I could afford.) :(

It turns on, runs, and everything fine. Idk. I have to force it out, it just happened this morning when I left work and I just left it in there because I work nights so I didn't gove a sh*t and went to sleep. But I'm about to leave for work again and I can't get it out. I have to lock my phone and wallet at work so Idk.
