What are the reasons for the car key being stuck and the engine not starting?

[McKevin]

The reasons for the car key being stuck and the engine not starting are as follows: 1. P gear not reset: After turning off the engine, the car key being stuck is common in automatic transmission models. The reason is that the gear is not truly reset in the P position. It may appear to be in place, but it does not touch the electronic sensor, or there may be coins or other objects in the gear slot blocking the reset. In this case, the owner should check if there are any obstructions in the gear slot and clean them out promptly. 2. Steering wheel automatically locked: Another situation is when the key cannot be turned after insertion due to the car's steering wheel automatic lock function, which is a very simple anti-theft feature. This usually happens because after parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel was accidentally turned left or right, or the wheels were not aligned when parking. The force applied can cause the steering wheel to turn, triggering the self-locking function. Even if the key is inserted and turned with force, it cannot be moved.
