2003 Accord - Key Stuck
Here's my scenario:
I recently purchased a 2003 Honda Accord Sedan V6 Automatic from a private seller (as-is). One month later, the key started to become stuck in the ignition. The only way that I could remove the key was to slam the shifter into Park or the wiggle the shifter forcefully while it was already in Park. I've read that it could possibly be a solenoid issue near the shifter not registering the car in "Park". The dot on the dash next to "P" lights up, indicating that the car is in Park, yet the key remains stuck. What do I need to do? Is this solenoid easy to replace if it is the issue? I am asking for advice as this issue is progressively getting worse. Thanks in advance.

Either the shifter cable is out of adjustment or the position switch on the transmission is out of adjustment (or failing)
