I am sometimes not able to get the out. Originaly I thought it had something to do with the steering wheel being turned too sharply while parking- you know the drill, tug on the wheel & it releases the tension so the key comes out. I haven't taken it apart yet but assume the entire housing will need to be replaced. Anybody else have similar problems. BTW its a 99' trooper 130k , w/auto trans. Any info would be great. Thanks

Most likely tihis is a problem with your transmission shifter. This is a safety feature that prevents the key to be taken out while the transmission is in drive. Wiggle it back and forth when in "Park" and it will release the key.
