Lock the steering wheel, then push the key in a little a and turn. Don't force it though.

I have a similar problem but my key doesn't get stuck. Its kinda hard to take out though. What Hobiekopek said earlier is exactly what i do when it gets stuck.. Good Luck

All you have4 to do is keep jiggling the steering wheel left and right. I don't know why, but it's somehow tied to the lock device
