What Causes the Key to Get Stuck After Parking?

[GrantFitz]

Reasons why the key gets stuck after parking are as follows: 1. Key stuck after parking: First, check if the gear is in neutral, then turn the steering wheel slightly. 2. If the key cannot be removed after turning off the engine: It may be that the P gear did not touch the electronic sensor, or there may be debris inside. Check if there is any debris blocking the slot and clean it out. Then, shift the gear again and confirm it is properly positioned, after which the key can be removed. 3. If the key cannot be turned after insertion: It may be due to incorrect positioning during the last parking, causing the steering wheel to lock abnormally. Simply turn the key while gently shaking the steering wheel left and right.
