key stuck in ignition switch

[Harley dude]

First time ive ever had this happen. my wifes key is stuck in the ignition switch. Turn the key off and it will not pull out. kinda feels like the switch isnt going back all the way but not 100% sure. 2004 and its the factory key. Tried rocking the steering wheel but didnt work. Anybody else ever have this happen or have any ideas. Hope I can fix without going to the stealer, i mean dealer.. Thanks..

Push the brake, cycle the key back to on, and go from P to N then back to P (making sure the shift lever is all the way to P) and try to pull the key out again.

It seems the key cylinder is not "seeing" the truck in Park, so it's not letting the cylinder rotate all the way back. I'm trying to figure out where the interlock is so you could possibly try to bypass it.

yeah stealer, just didnt want to offend anybody being the new guy..

Thanks ELVATO, went back and looked and she didnt have it all the way on the P so i just pushed it up in park and what doya know, key came right out..
I was looking too hard and didnt see it before..

Thats cool but dont let her know that. Make up some other bizaar story which in title will give you the power to buy another mod. For example she broke the starter switch and now you have to buy a remote starter
