My problem is, the key is stuck in the ignition.
I put it in to unlock the steering wheel and now I cant get it out!
Any ideas?

Btw its an 88 LX

Thanks

going to need to replace the lock cylinder.
take the shroud off of the column, and turn the key to the Run position. Underneath the lock cylinder will be a tiny hole. Insert anything strong, like a pick, into that hole and press up while pulling the key outwards, and the whole cylinder will come out.

That's it? Yup, that simple...that's it. New set of keys to loose.

ok, I got the cylinder out, and the key. Cant get it back in though... Do you mean I need to replace the cylinder? Is this just a junkyard part? what about keys?
