It usually takes a few minutes to jiggle the key the right way to get the car to turn off, and then another few minutes and a forceful yank to get it out. Turning the ignition on can also be difficult, as the key doesn't want to turn in the cylinder and you have to really force it to turn. You can't leave the car to get help because then it could be easily…
