Key stuck in ignition
Has this happened before? Is the steering wheel locked? In which case, you will have to gently tug on the wheel towards the left as you turn the key the rest of the way. Or, is the key physically jammed? In this case, some WD-40 should free the key enough to pull it out. Also, the gear shift must be in park and the interlock fully disengaged (make sure the little button on the shifter is all the way out). As you can see, the key may be stuck for a myriad reasons. If none of these work, it still might be something else. Try these and report back.

Take off two-halfs of steering wheel (torx screws) put key on acc and there is a small hole in the column where the tumbler is stick a small paper clip or watch screw driver inside and the tumbler should come out this seems to be a problem after the 850 series beacause of the chip inside of the key

Hi I am vortash I had this once and it was the same vehicle I cut a thin piece of plastic from an old credit card just slightly thinner than the key and applied some superglue to it onl a very tiny amount in the middle of the plastic I applied it with a pin so not to put too much on .. I then eased it into the keyhole next to the key waited 5 minutes for the glue to dry and managed to gently pull it out but if you dont fancy that idea I have also seen it done by drilling a vey small hole in the top of the broken Key with a Dremel and a fine drill bit and a small allen key with loctite on it pushed and tapped into the hole .. that worked also .. hope this helps Regards Vortash
