two possible causes 1) the steering lock is pressing on the key cylinder. Try rocking the steering wheel away from the lock to see if you can pull it out 2) on some models (like my 2000 S40) there's also a shifter interlock where the shifter button on the **** can get stuck in, which keeps the key from coming out. Try rowing the shifter up into park a few times while trying to pull the button on the back of the **** out.
