1998 S70 Trouble removing key from ignition S70 1998

Seems like the gear level (automatic tranny) does not always lock into park. Therefore you can't remove the key. How do I fix this?

    Try flicking the button (that you have to press to get it out of park)when it is stuck not quite into park.If it goes into park and the key comes out you need a new gearshift knob.

    Your PNP switch is on its way out. Get it fixed before it leaves you stranded.

      What is a PNP Switch and where do I get one? I'm pretty well versed when it comes to my 945 Turbo, but this is my wife's car.

        PNP switch, also known as neutral safety switch, has nothing to do with the key not coming out, unless it siezes completely,(never seen this happen) and prevents trans from going in to park. Look at the button on your shift knob. I am sure you will find it cracked at the pivvot point, which causes it to stick. The button must release fully to allow the keylock cable to relax, which in turn allows the key to be removed. Shift knob will be needed if button is cracked.
