2000 Buick Regal 70,000 miles

At first the key would not come out once in a while. This went on for about a month. Then it would not come out at all. I tried to wiggle the wheel, but it would not come out. I went reverse and forward over and over and it would not come out, eventually it did though through through the back up method. I went to an auto shop and overheard them guessing about what the problem was, the one said she would just quote me for a new (the part the key goes into). It was obvious they weren't exactly sure.

What might the problem be?

Thanks!

Sounds like your ignition lock cylinder is binding. The lock cylinder would have to be changed and coded correctly to fit you key.
