I have a 2010 Holden Cruze diesel, and the key is stuck in the ignition. It will only turn off to ACC position, and wont turn any further. It is in "Park". I can start the car, but it will not come out of park. Anyone else had this issue, or got any suggestions please.

Try turning the steering wheel to a different position, that may let the lock work better.

A quick google suggests this is common. Haven't found the answer yet op but it's looking like a "Back to dealer" fix.

Do you have the (owners) manual handy? There is an "over ride" for the gear stick which is used for when the car is "towed"
If you do it this way the car MAY stay in whatever gear you select, BUT it may let you move the car to a better place until you can get Holden or your friendly mechanic to look at it.

Another one being said is there is a solenoid for the shift system that MAY come right if you disconnect battery for 'bout 30 min's.

These are all suggestions from Chevy Cruze owners that have had the same issues.

Don't go anywhere other than a Holden dealer, there are software issues with those column lock systems on those.

park neutral and brake switch might be part of the steering key lock mechanism
