Greetings David,

The neutral safety switch would just prevent your car from starting if it has gone bad or is out of adjustment. If you can't get the key out of the ignition, this safety switch should have nothing to do with that problem. It should be possible to adjust your safety switch from under the car left side, where the selector rod enters the transmission.

Charles
