If you feel that your car key is stuck somewhere in the lock mechanism, first lubricate both the lock and the spark plug. Then use an old broken key extractor to carefully pull out your key. However, if this method is still successful, then you should ensure that you wipe the ignition well before reinstalling the key in the lock.

Another possible cause for the car key to get stuck in the ignition. Some older types of ignitions are quite stubborn and it may be difficult to extract a key from them. Hence, in such a case, you can use the services of a locksmith who is well versed with the new locksmith technology to unlock the cylinder and/or replace the ignition switch altogether due to it no longer working.
Another thing worth mentioning, is sometimes even the smartest of people have bad days. So be sure to make sure your vehicle is in park as this will make removing the key impossible for a lot of make and models.

Similarly, the transmission in the vehicle could also be the culprit if you have got stuck with a car key stuck in the lock. In order to remove a stuck key in the transmission, it is important to use the correct gear shaft tool. To do so, place the new key in the locked area, and apply considerable force on both the trigger and the knob. Once the knob gets loose, you can pull it out by turning the shaft clockwise.
