Unhappy shift lock system faulty?

Need some advice...my 1999 S70 will not start (the engine doesn't turnover), and I am not able to remove the key (it stops turning just shy of the 0 position). Could this be related to the shift lock?

Thanks!

Yes the key not coming out can be related to the shiftlock button not being up all the way.

just had the same problem with my 98 xc70 couldn't remove the key after messing with the shift lock...perhaps a little debris around the shift lock button...thanks

i know this is an old thread but for anyone searching this forum:

also check to make sure your car is fully in park and the release button hasnt stuck.
its embarassing but i fumbled with my key for 5 minutes until I realized I just needed to pull the release button out!
