What are the reasons why the Honda key cannot be pulled out?

The reasons why the Honda key cannot be pulled out are: 1. It may be due to improper operation; 2. Poor lubrication of the keyhole. The solutions are: 1. Turn off the ignition switch, then press the key inward and pull it out; 2. Grind pencil lead into powder and pour it into the keyhole, as graphite can provide a lubricating effect. Honda is a multinational automobile manufacturer listed on both the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. Its automotive business consists of the core brand Honda and the luxury brand Acura. The 'H' is the graphic trademark of Honda cars and motorcycles, representing the first capital letter of the Japanese pronunciation 'HONDA'. The letters 'HM' in the Honda motorcycle trademark are an abbreviation for 'HONDAMOTOR'.
I often encounter the issue of not being able to remove the Honda car key. One common reason is the steering wheel lock—if the wheels aren't straightened when parking, the mechanical lock of the steering wheel can jam the keyhole. Gently turning the steering wheel left or right can release the lock. Another key point is the gear not being in the P position. Honda cars are designed to allow key removal only when in Park, so check if the gear is fully engaged. Worn-out keys or aging lock cylinders can also cause the key to get stuck—try the spare key; if it works, it's time to replace the original key. Sometimes dust or small debris can block the keyhole, and blowing air or spraying some lubricant can loosen it. If that doesn’t help, it might be an internal fault in the ignition switch, requiring professional tools for inspection. Developing the habit of straightening the steering wheel and confirming the P position when parking can significantly reduce such troubles.
