Try moving the steering wheel from side to side as you release the key.

Yup sounds like he locked the steering wheel here. Happens every once in a while.

both of my sc400 and sc300 had the problem where you had to really give the shifter a good push to get them fully in park. i fixed the issue on my sc300 by removing the transmission, drive shaft, brake pedal, shifter bezel, and then replacig all thos parts with ones from a 5 speed. problem solved
