Re: Key stuck

Does the key turn fully to the OFF position, or is that part of the issue as well? Will the Explorer still start? If so, you might try starting the truck and moving it to a new, flat parking spot, then try removing the key again. If you're able to remove it then you can have reasonably high confidence that the issue is with the linkage binding due to an outside force versus just being worn or damaged. If the key still won't remove, then you might have an issue where the gear select lever is not fully dropping in to the Park detent and you may need to adjust that.
