Default Accord Key release

Honda accord ignition key will not come out. I have to restart the car, put it in gear, then put it in park again., then most of the time I can get the key out without repeating the procedure.
Any Ideas?

Not knowing what year Accord you've got, I'll give you a general hint.
on all Automatics (5th Gen and earlier), there's a switch mounted to the side of the console shifter assembly which performs several functions.
(#2 in illustration)

1) operates the shift quad indicator in cluster
2) Signals TCM what position has been selected
3) Releases Key interlock solenoid when in "Park" position

Your problem lies with that switch assembly (I don't believe it's adjustable)

FOR INFO ONLY:

On manual Trans Accords, there's two switches mounted to the clutch pedal. One a start inhibitor switch (#14) and a key interlock switch (#16)
