Key stuck in lock Series3

Is it a diesel? If so, make sure the fuel cutoff is pulled out all the way.

Ni Andrew, no it's a 2.25 petrol. I just think the retainer mechanism (SP ) has gone. You know the bit where you have to push the key in further to turn to position 0. But I can't get the key out or turn to position 0.

I'm looking at having to leave the key in there for the stearing lock and rewire to a starter button. Don't want to unless I have to.
