Key stucked/Microswitch works

Hi folks,
a have the known problem that I can't get my key out of the ignition.
I checked the microswitch it's doing what it was built for, it releases the white plastic thing at the ignition lock.
But I can do what I want..the key stucks in that damn lock....
Does anyone here has a fix for that issue.....I know there is recall according the lock also here in Germany.....but things here in Germany are a little bit slower....I called GM talked to my dealer the only thing they tell me not to put heavy stuff on it.

I guess there is inside of the lock something broken what prevent's the key to get out of the lock. Means my lock is broken...or I'm wrong...any ideas....
Thank's Oliver one of 1000 HHR driver's inEurope
