I bought a used car (1995 Saturn SL2) and was provided with a spare key. I used this in the door, then the ignition, and it worked in both and even started the car; however, now the key is stuck in the ignition. I can't turn the key back past battery access in order to remove it; the radio shows a messasge that says "lock" and my battery is being permanently drained.

Will I need to replace the ignition or is there some way to get this key out?

Thank you.

Hi there,

I feel that it would save a heap of grief if you got a new lock and key, if you do get the stuck key out. the lock may be damaged internally and you could be looking at the same problem again, go for a new lock and key.
