Default weird problem

alot of times I could not get the key out of the ignition, it won't turn completely to the 1st position it's stuck on the 2nd position. But sometimes it turns with no problem at all, bad ignition shaft or key maybe?
thanks

Try greasing it up with the special grease used for door locks, I think it is graphite or something like that.

Move the steering wheel and the key will come out smoothly. Aside from that make sure when you put the car in park, that you hear it click into the slot. I can almost guarantee that one of these solutions will help you .
