Default Key gets stuck in Ignition!!! Please help!!!

Sometimes when I turn off my car and come to take the key out, my key gets stuck in the ignition and won't come out. Sometimes for 3 minutes, sometimes untill i turn it on again and drive then turn it off. What could be wrong?? The lock cylinder??? I hope it isn't because thats a good 300.00 repair...what do you suggest i should do??

I'm so pissed off, I was going to buy a CF hood soon, and if I have to fix this, I can't..

I had the same problem. First check your keys If it does the same thing with other keys because mine was one of the original keys was worn out an since I had pleanty of copies that work fine. I tried my other keys after I had purchased a used assembly for my del sol for $115.00. Check your other keys or have the dealer cut you a new one. It might be cheaper.

yeah... I used to have that problem, and then I looked at the key, and it was bent... just a tiny tiny bit, but then I went and got one made at wal-mart, fixed all the problems
