Like the title says.

The car turns off but the key wont turn back far enough to pull the key out.

Any ideas?

i was using my brother in laws truck the same thing happened to me i wiggled it and it gave, so i could turn it back then wiggled it again got it out and key was bent which caused it..goodluck

You can try this: Key sticks in ignition (The temp fix) or this: Shift Lock Diagnostic/Repair or why won\'t my key come out of the ignition...

That would surely be a PITA. If the key is stuck in the ignition, at least in my 97, I wouldn't be allowed to even manually lock the driver's door, unless it was with a spare key from the outside.

And a spare key is something I ALWAYS have in my wallet. I'm way too bad about laying my keys down on the console to grab my phone, jacket, and other junk and then locking the keys in the car. I have to use that spare key about six or seven times a year to unlock the door.
