Default Key stuck in ignition

The key didn't go all the way back, when I switched off the car this arvo,

The key came off start, but didn't come all the back, weird, quite solid stop.

Do you lock your steering wheel much?

I tend not to lock my wheel and if I do I make sure to take the pressure off before I turn the ignition key. Not doing this is a good way to mess up your ignition lock.

Or it could be something really simple like a worn out key.

Is this on your slushbox Audi? Maybe you're not all the way into Park?

Aye, sorry KB, the 1989 turbo auto.


Key springs back after starting to a halfway point and stops solid.

Halfway, so power is off, but it won't go back that extra bit


It won't go into steering lock because of the placement of key.
