Thank you

The sticking thumb button is stopping the key from turning the lock far enough to get the key out. You'll need to inspect and lubricate the cable that runs from shifter to ignition lock. When this happened in my V70, I found that slapping the shifter allowed the button to pop out and freed up the key.
