I've done everything I can think of........put for some reason cannot get the key out of the ignition!
There is nothing in the manual to address this.
HELP! Anyone have any ideas????????

Only two things I can think of and you have probably tried them:
1. There is a 'keylock' system which means the gear selector must be in'P'.
2. Sometimes the steering lock is under tension and the steering wheel has to be turned slightly to remove the key.

Tried turning weel, and put it in park ...key will not come out. I dont want to try to force it, what can be the problem? S70 volvo 1998 ....

How's the battery doing? I had this same problem happen to my spare car, a Nissan Maxima. The battery was dying and the keylock was engaged. I was lucky since I didnt have to drive the car. I ended up leaving the key in the ignition and came out a few days laterand it came out smoothly. I'm not sure if disconnecting the battery would help, but if you're not afraid of trying I would give it a shot.

Jiggle wiggle push & pull would be the way to go!!
Bearing in mind that you have to do it with a bit of elegance.

Goodluck

Make sure the button on the shifter is all the way out. The one you push to move the shifter out of park.
