I have a new 2009 A5 with smart key. With the car turned off, I placed the key in the slot to power close the windows. Following this, I could not remove the Master Key from the ignition. I tried pushing in and pulling out the Master Key beforre removing, but no luck. I also removed the ignition key from the Master Key and that did not help either. What am I doing wrong?

Did you try turning on the engine, then shutting it off and removing the key? Does that work?

A6 1996 petrol manual. On my old thing the one key I have sometimes won't turn. The steering wheel needs to be wiggled from side to side until the key can turn.
