key keeps sticking
 
I have a 2003 convertable beetle and the key gets stuck and wont come out, sometimes it comes out real easy
but when it gets stuck I am worried, I do not want to leave the keys in the car!

any advice?? does anyone else have this problem?
thanks!;)

Cristine,
If it's an automatic the key cannot be removed unless the transmission is in neutral, other than that????????????

No problem, I drive my wife's 99 beetle and once in a while I don't put it in park, and wonder why the key won't come out! DOAH>>>> I drive a '85 cabriolet, 5 speed..
