i had it too, but if you just use your man strength, it pops down and slides out, after being a little rough with it once it hasnt acted up

 

I had this exact same problem and it was very bad. Happened everytime I tried to get the key out and was very embarrassing when it happened in front of people.

I went to Napa and got some powder graphite. Lubed up the key and squirted some in the ignition tumbler. Then slid the key in- out several times and turned to igniton position and back several times. It worked perfect!!! no more issues and key comes smoothly right out. Powder graphite is the fix for this problem.

 

My vii does the same thing. Pita but it's never been stuck for long, alway just have to jiggle it a bit to get it out

 

I had sever issues with my key not turning on the driver door of my S14 and a nice shot of wd40 fixed everything. Don't know how I would feel about spraying that in my ignition though (or inside my car).

 

Only happens to mine when it's hot, I'll give graphite lube a shot.

 

Mine does this too, but i removed a ton of weight off my keyring and lubed it with WD40 Silicone and it works great now.

 

WD40 in the key slot

I bought this from home depot yesterday and it's been workIng good do far.

 

my gf tells me she has the same problem when she trys to take the key out of the car. i personally never had that problem. try pushing in the key and turning it back.

 

I just assumed that it was an annoyance feature that came from the factory as every Evo I've owned has had this issue.

 

same problem here.... but im used to it....

 

Happen to me once in a while.. I guess I'll try graphite lube instead of WD40.

 

didn't read the entire thread,so i may be repeating the answer.but graphite lube will work on your ignition.

i wouldn't use wd-40,or if i did i wouldn't use much.

 

Use powder graphite

 

I was fixing a starting issue my evo vii was having where it would click and click and click then finally turn over, by simply replacing the ignition switch behind the ignition cylinder where your key go's into. After I had replaced that I went to go pull out of my driveway and my steering wheel locked up...? So I pulled back into the driveway and tried turning off my car and my key wont come out of the ignition? So now I'm in a pickle... My key wont come out and my steering wheel is locked... Any suggestions?
