How to Get Key Unstuck: Cadillac SRX
Here are ways that you can get your SRX's key free. This is our recommended order to do them in.
Make Sure You Have Voltage
Is the battery charged? If the vehicle still starts it should be fine. But, since this requires almost no effort to check, why not start here? Low voltage can keep the ignition lock mechanism from properly functioning.
Wiggle the Steering Wheel
Give the wheel a wiggle while lightly trying to turn the key out of the ignition. If the steering lock is causing a bind, this will relieve the pressure and get the key out. This is a very common situation when you park on hills, park with the wheels turned all the way in one direction, or if the wheels were turned with the vehicle not moving before the ignition was shut off.
Shifter Issues
Make sure your SRX is in park. Even if it is in park, push the shifter up higher toward park while gently turning the key. You don't need to manhandle anything. You're just looking to see if the park lock mechanism is failing. If it is, the key should come right out.
Lubricate the Key
Now that we've tried all of the easier, and likely things that can make a SRX's key get stuck that aren't the key itself, it's time to go ahead and try to get the key out. You're going to want to use a small amount of lubricant to see if it can help you get the key moving.
If you can still move the key forward, go ahead and do it so that you can get the lubrication spread a little. Don't force it too hard or you'll break it off in the cylinder.

A lot of vehicles are equipped with a steering lock. This lock can bind the ignition switch and get the key stuck from time to time. ... Manipulating your SRX's steering wheel can unbind the key.
