Default Key stuck in ignition

Hey guys,
I did a search and found a few people that have had this problem but none were very specific as to how to solve it.

My ignition key is stuck and wont come out. I know this has something to do with the fact that i just did an auto to manual conversion in my civic.

I need to know how to solve this problem, thanks in advance!

-Kenny

in my old car it would be due to the steering wheel locking mechanism. if you can't turn your steering wheel left or right, try tilting the steering wheel up and down pretty hard, slamming it if you have to. or you you might try turning the steering wheel all the way to one side and then try to remove the key.

one of the two would always unlock the mechanism so I could get the key.

Thanks guys, i think i may have figured it out thanks to the help of one of our members. Apperantly theres a black box were the clutch pedal would be. He said to un-plug it and to also disconect the blue box from the steering column. I will be trying this next time i get to work on it
