Aloha all,

I have a 1997 Dodge Caravan Sport, V6, 143K miles. On Friday, I was driving to the Apple store to buy Leopard. After parking the car, and turning the engine off, I couldn't pull the key out, it seems that its about 1/6 of an inch from where its suppose to be so I can pull it out. I didn't want to force it in the risk of breaking the key. The car is working great, I've driven it all weekend, I just place a towel so no one sees the key.

Any advise? Help! :?
