For the past few months, whenever i reach my destination, my key has been getting stuck in the ignition when i'm trying to park the car. This happens intermittently although it's becoming more frequent. I park the car, shift into "p", turn the key and it only turns partially . I have to keep shifting in & out of "p" until it finally turns the rest of the way and comes out. I've started to carry a second key with me. I have an appointment with a dealer next week.
