Key doesn't want to leave ignition
Hey Guys,
I have a minor problem on my 1995 EX-R (EX in the US) coupe. Especially when cold, the key doesn't want to leave the ignition when I try to take it out. Is this just because it's cold, or do I have a defect on my hands? I hope to hear from you guys, thanks a lot.

metal contracts when it's cold. Spray a touch of WD-40 or BreakFree and you should be fine.
Also note that if you've had a TON of keys hanging off your ignition forever when your key's in the hole, that causes strain to the ignition switch. All those keys for all that time would tend to wear out the switch faster.
