If in "P" and key won`t come out,there is a microswitch under the gearlever gaiter that de-energises when ign. is switched off to allow for key removal, sounds like it`s knackered. Remove the cowling around the steering column and look for a little solenoid on the bottom of the lock cylinder. Remove the electrical connector from it and key should release. Leave said connector disconnected
