Key stuck in ignition!
Hi my bro just phoned me to say his key's stuck in the ignition and he can't get it out! Don't know what to suggest other than the obvious... has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas
M-reg classic btw!

Ahh...
He just called to say he has now snapped the key off, and it's stuck in the ignition.
Fuuu! Guess the situation has just been made 100x worse

Haven't had this happen to me, but might be worth trying to start the car again then turn it off to see if that frees up the key - sure they have tried turning the wheel a bit to ensure its not jammed against the steering lock mechanism. Also make sure they aren't turning the key back too far; mechanism may be worn a bit and allowing the key to turn back too far so it can't be removed?
Hope that helps

If they can get the old key out then possibly, but if the barrel has collapsed then it may be stuck fast, or won't work even with a new key. May be worth a try though...

mine did this. i eventually got it out. all the keys were worn. so i dissambled the barrel and re-shaped the levers. now it works a treat.
He can get whasts left of that one by disasembling the barell (quiet easy) and then using the master key. i wont explain on a forum how its done. but you can pm.

Thanks for your help guys. Just to let you know he managed to get it turned on again so drove it to a locksmiths this morning. £50 later it's out, new key, and all seems to be working fine so far
Hopefully it was just the key then!
