I see several people have the "stuck key" problem. My key sticks and I have to push the little button I found hidden under the steering column to remove it. Every things seems to work correctly with the shifter ....I am able to change positions of the shifter in the usual way by pushing the lever on the shifter etc.. I have taken the cover off the shifter and looked for the micro switch others talk about being stuck but I am unable to identify it. Does anybody have any pictures of this switch? Or, is the problem I have in the ignition switch itself?

In addition to the links Lucky has provided, check out this thread below, if it isn't the shifter you have a bad ignition lock cylinder.

This is one of those "if it isn't this, it's that" deals with an HHR, and as I tell lots of folks here. There are two kinds of HHR owners, those whose keys have become stuck at one time, and those whose keys haven't become stuck yet.
