Ignition switch/ key stuck S70

Bet this one is pricey, but what does it involve to fix a situation where my ignition key sticks in the steering column? It only does it once in a while - usually when I REALLY need to be able to lock the car. I've noticed that if I park on a slope, that I can take the car out of Park and let it roll a bit and replace it into Park again and it will work. Any ideas? THANKS!

    You are only allowed to remove the key when it is in Park. Obviously, your car doesn't think it is in Park and you do. That could very well be the micro switch, which is not pricey.

    Have you tried the microswitch over-ride button? Usually when it gets stuck is when the gear doesn't go completely into park (from what I remember).
