keys not coming out usually means the shfiter is not all the way in park. Can mean bad solenoid. I mean if you can force it back into park fully you can get your keys out but the locking mechanism is not releasing the key
Do I look into buying the whole shift assembly or just the solenoid? Well replacing that fix the problem with the shifter being stuck and resorting to using the override.
