Dude, it’s people like you that are using the RUclips to help others. I appreciate the time you took to post this, because you just saved me a headache after a shitty day at work. Having a key stuck in the ignition was just adding insult to injury. I hope you know you positively impacted my day.
Dear Cody ...u just helped a worried 70 year old lady on soc security. I went out to my car and I just happened to have bought myself a new can of trusty WD40 and did what u said. I sprayed the gear shift that buttons been the hardest thing on my thumb all this time. And I sprayed it to see if once I could get it lose that my key that suddenly was getting stuck intermittently for a couple days on my 2003 Malibu. And by Jove it worked!! Now my thumb won’t hurt and the key comes right out!! So a million thank you. Thank you sir. Oh and it’s dark out but I did it right in the driveway as soon as I saw your video. Bless you!
This vid saved me A LOT of frustration. I was literally in a parking lot about to die cuz my key wouldnt come out but found this vid and figured it out immediately!!!! Thank you for this vid!!!
240 in the morning have been sitting for an hour trying to get the key out…. Found this video, pulled the little button on the stick out and out came the key 😅 THANK U
Bro thanks so much Been in my car for 30 minutes.. look in RUclips this was the first video I was out my car in 30 seconds literally 💯💯💯💯💯 I love you 😂😂
Thank you so much for this video! After trying everything to get my key out it was such a relief to realize it was from a stuck button on the gear shift of my 2002 Toyota Camry!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Two people sharing a car to get to work with a teenager to support!! The key was stuck and the lights wouldn't shut off. We were afraid the battery would be drained by morning. THIS WORKED!! I had to try a few times (probably technique)...but the key came out smooth as silk, I shut off the lights and locked up the car for the night!! THANK YOU!!! By the way it is a Chevy Captiva 2013. Best thing is, if it happens again I know what to do. Your video is very clear.
Thank you Sir!! Haha I had this problem this morning and my stick shift doesn’t have a button but I just put it in reverse and then park and I was able to fix the issue!
I know your video was posted some years ago but I'm real glad I came across it cuz it really saved me from spending money I don't have just to get my key out. If you see this then Thank You! 😊
Great Fix for Stuck key. I noticed Your key and it's receptor were somewhat movable. Mine isn't budging, but I'll try the one thing I haven't tried that you showed me. Love your site, it's worth a million!
You are amazing! I was just about ready to cry! After having a sewer issue today, the key not coming out was the icing on the cake! The park button thing worked! Thank you sooooooooooo much for making this video! 😊
I had my car like this for several minutes and I knew RUclips was the answer lol. WTH! Lol. I started to press the button on my Lincoln and noticed it wasn’t all the way out. I pressed it so quick that it popped out and I was able to take my key out lol. Thanks!! Helpful video man! Who would think the button was the cause of this.
gotta add....... your video BOOM> key stuck in ignition I was googling how to get a replacement key thinking "oh well, I'll just lock the key in the ignition and that's that.".... exactly what your video said. Button was stuck down and the gear shifter knob wasn't all the way out. gotta love RUclips knowledge. - thanks
Omgsh I had a cover over my button but never affected me until now … i moved the cover I had on my gear shift and worked like a charm … I’m sitting in utter shock . I literally was in this car SWEATING while wrestling to get this key out!
It’s seriously 1am it’s not even my car I’m car sitting just decided to run out in my rob quick gas station run for papers. I come home & for 15 I’m about to cry not wanting to wake my home girl up about her car 1:30 in the morning you literally save me in only :59 of the video literally I flashed the light look down and seen a penny stuck in park section wile I have the car in park I pull that ish out and immediately was saved 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Omg thank you! I've been sitting in my car for 45 minutes trying to get the key out and all I had done was somehow accidentally push that stupid button!
you did a very good job on this video. I'm dealing with a 84 Olds Cutlass Ciera the key will turn to the on position but will not turn back to the off position. Went up to the shop he says there's something else going on. I don't know what to believe the shop has not seen the car yet
I had this problem for my 2008 Chevy Cobalt the funny part was I had a drink in the cup holder that was pushing up against the button you were talking about on the shifter and that's what caused my key to not come out of the ignition LOL
Thank you, It help. Let me me tell you, I was been had a lot of problems trying to take the key out and I couldn't do it trying everything and nothing then I saw your tape and right away it did work. thanks again .
Mannnnn. You saved me. Went to 7 Eleven just to get coffee. About to get out the car and WTH. Thank you for this. My shifter button was indeed not all the way out.
THANK YOU!!! My stick was stuck and I jut pulled up and it put it back into park. I watched several videos and just the first part of this one saved my butt. Thanks again!! Life saver
my grand prix goes from park to drive without brakes or the button cuz my friend forced it and now the keys stuck, please help no one else has been able to
thanks for this video the shift lock override was my problem and the gear shift was constantly getting stuck. The W D 40 worked on both in less than 1 minute, thanks again.
Thank You for the time you send on helping us... After spending 30 min in high blood mode in me trying to get key out., I should have went on my laptop and watched this video... I saw a video on RUclips and got the key out.. sorry., it was not yours.. but now I am going to buy a can of WD40 John Jarvis N.Ft. Myers FL., and new owner of a 1998 Volvo S70
Some work was done on my vehicle when I got it back that button was missing. Having problem getting my key out ignition wondering if dirt getting in that hole could be the cause.
I have a 2003 ford explorer 2wd v6. I have a column shift and the boot on the shifter is junk and something got in above the ignition key and the key got stuck. there is a piece with two electrical wires attached to it which I assume is the key release--how do I get that part and how difficult is it to replace it? It is small with a metal flapper and I pressed on it and released my key---can't seem to locate the item on any auto parts sites. Thanks. Jerry
It’s been happening on my 2017 Subaru Crosstrek and the way I’ve been dealing with it is turning my car on then off again hoping it will magically work.This sometimes makes it work after 1-2 times, but it’s obvious not a permanent fix. Just happened to me again so I tried looking up why this might be happening and the first trick in this video worked and my response was “son of a gun, that’s at?!”.
I love that all the videos are about a car that is off while I'm stuck wasting gas wishing to God I could go home after a long shift and hungry and about to just let someone steal it soon.
Thank you very much for this I needed this jist now I have a spare key & just left the main key there & locked my doors while I was in bed I saw this & immediately ran back to the car to try everything u did & it was that damn little button thank you 😊
Thank you so much! My key was stuck granted I'm in the dark at 4am in the morning, so I checked my gear shifter and sure enough my small JBL speaker was pressing against that button lol I moved it and the turned my key back and forth and walla it came out!
this just happened to my friend a second ago. I put wd40 in the release override button and kept pressing it and the button popped up and the key came out. Thank you. volvo said it would cost a few hundred to fix it. I saved my friend hundreds of dollars :) actually I should say You saved her hundreds. I didn't need to use a screw driver. just wd40 and kept pressing the button till it popped up
Volvo cars are good; Volvo dealers tend to stink. You could go in to replace a radio knob and they'll hammer around until they break something, I swear. My current beef is that they are seriously hammering me to pay $450 to make a new key. They make it sound like they're building a Space Shuttle. I found a real mechanic who says it takes more time for these lazy buggers to get the key from the major parts company in a nearby big city than it does to make a new key. I think I've bought my final Volvo. No more. I've had enough. This thing's a service lemon. I've gotten my money out of my 2003. It's time to get a car that is easier to service.

Yep, it was the button on the stick messed up. Thanks a million!
Coulter McIntyre so all I need to do is make sure that the button clicks out all the way on the handle shift and I can take the key out?
@@rayvonthony6847 that's all I needed to do, but I can't say whether that would solve your problem or not
