I can't get the key out of the ignition of my 1996 honda civic. Someone suggested that it might be the ignition cylenoid (SP?). Does that sound correct? Is this easy to repair?
Thanks for your help.

The problem may be a faulty, or misadjusted, automatic transmission gear position switch. These links should provide perspective on the interlock system:
