Ignition key gets "stuck"...
 
My '01 WS6 has an annoying issue. Whenever I put the key in the ignition switch I have to wiggle it to get it to turn. Then the same thing to get the key out. Any idea's?

Assuming your key is worn. IF your lucky, the worn key hasn't damaged the lock cylinder; and having the dealer cut a new key from the keycode (not copying yours) will fix it. Over time as a key wears, the cylinder will wear to the key as well. Eventually they both get to a point where the cylinder wont turn at all, or the key may never come out.

If it does it with a newly cut key, then it may need a new ignition cylinder.

OR the shifter/park interlock (if auto) is out of wack (if manual, it has a similiar thing. name escapes me).

try a different key, sounds like the tumblers.

Do you have a ton of keys and stuff on your key ring? If so maybe take some off, try to cut down on some of that hanging weight on the ign cyl.
