I can't get my key out of the ignition.

Finally got my Scrambler home today. When I bought it the key was in the ignition. Any ideas???
 
These rigs are such precision vehicles... Glad that "fine adjustment tool" fixed it. Hilarious!!
 
I have the opposite problem, the key won't stay in the ignition. Things are a bit worn.

Me too (on the Wrangler)! It should have been a factory option-great when moving Jeeps around. I move the Wrangler, pull the key while leaving it running, then go crank another and move it.:smokin:
 
Because of the wheel lock mechanism, if there's some tension on the steering wheel, sometimes it's hard to get the key in or out or turn the ignition. Maybe that was it.
 
I had a stuck key problem a while back, eventually it got worse. Ended up changing the cylinder out. Randy did a good write-up on how-to replace it. I followed his steps with no problems. Hopefully yours won't happen again.
 
Me too, ended up replacing the whole column with a tilt version that I bought a couple of years ago. Funny thing was I had to use vise grips to squeeze the fuel line to get the engine to turn off! LOL
