I have a '99 XC and I can't get the key to turn back all the way in the ignition so that I can remove it. I tried moving the shifter around but that didn't release the key. Looking for some advice on what could be wrong. Thanks, Pete in Virginia
Key is stuck

I had this on my '98. Turns out the button on the shifter knob wasn't coming back out all the way. Until it was fixed, slapping the knob caused the button to pop out. It was fixed under warranty, they said they had to "reposition the cable". This is a cable that goes from the shifter to the ignition switch that stop you from turning the key all the way off in any position but park.
