What to Do When the Car Key Gets Stuck and Won't Come Out?

[McVivian]

When the car key gets stuck and won't come out, the solutions are: 1. Turn the key with your right hand while gently shaking the steering wheel in different directions with your left hand; 2. Start the car, shift the gear back to P position, and the key can then be removed. The reasons why the car key gets stuck are: 1. The steering wheel was not properly aligned when the car was last parked, causing abnormal locking of the steering wheel; 2. The automatic transmission was not properly returned to the P position. Car keys utilize the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing doors to be opened and locked from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. The basic principle of a car key is: it emits a weak radio wave from the owner, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator performs the locking or unlocking action.
