Have you tried moving the steering wheel? The lock might be stopping it.

Im assuming you have had the key out before??

Is the gearshift in Park or Neutral?? If Not the key will be locked in place.

Have you turned the key round 1 extra click. This is similar to the acc. setting on European cars when the radio turns on but the ignition is off. USA vehicles have their acc position 1 click further back than the normal off position when you remove the key. Try moving the key round 1 click and trying to pull it out.

Id say the gearshift is not in neutral or park though :thumb:

thanks for the replies, cant move it back at all only forward to start the engine. It says it is in park, so might have to try and fiddle. Steering l ock is off. Have lhad the key out many times and no problem.
