Every once in awhile, when I turn my car off I can't get my key out of the ignition. Everything turns off but the radio, so I just turn it off. Anyone have this happen?
This is on my 06 Jetta.

Make sure you have the front wheels pointed straight ahead when you turn off ignition. If you have the wheel turned left or right, I've noticed the steering wheel 'not in a neutral position'. If this happens to you, try turning the steering wheel slightly while removing the key.

I see those a lot. the lock is the problem. it has to release the key in order to deactivate ignition switch and only then radio and everything else goes out. check with vcds if you are able. you should have fault for ignition switch.
