To turn off the ignition lock, insert the key into the ignition, turn it to the 'off' position, and remove the key. In vehicles with push-button start, press the start/stop button until the vehicle shuts off. If the ignition lock seems stuck, ensure the car is in 'park' (or neutral for manual), and gently wiggle the steering wheel while turning the key. This may release any pressure on the wheel lock mechanism.
