Ignition Positions

NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can't
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key;
if so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But turn the key only with your hand.
Using a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none of this works, then your
vehicle needs service.
Keep in mind that you may have to turn the steering
wheel as you turn the key in order to turn the ignition
switch from LOCK to START
Using extra effort to remove the key from the ignition
switch, as compared to other GM vehicles that you may
have owned, is also normal.
If your key is stuck in the ignition switch and cannot
be turned back to LOCK, your vehicle will need to be
repaired. See your dealer for service.

this is normal.
