I had the exactly same problem after the new transmission installed in 98 accord. Took twice to the dealer. They said the linkage is too tight so they adjusted. I have no idea what they mean. Anyway, the problem is fixed. Good luck on yours.

But I found a trick, the only way I can take it out with no problem is if I have the steering wheel aligned straight. If the steering wheel is tilted, even the slightest tilt, the keys will get stuck. This has never happened to me before =T It feels as if something is wrong, like the key is chipped/worn out(which I highly doubt) or something is stuck in the ignition or it's misaligned. I don't know how to explain it. I'll give Honda another call on Monday =T
