Find a stout paper clip and have that ready. Don't ignore sticking ignition keys on these cars.

There are various tips to get a key to turn, most of them no good to someone stuck in a hot parking lot. Some spray lube, jiggling, pushing or slight pulling along the axis of the key while trying to turn may help.


If you end up going the locksmith route, be cautious, others have had the locksmith professionally break the key off. You may want to ask if he has a drilling template tool. I don't know what your internet access is from the parking lot, but here:

Your ignition switch MAY be failing. Once you're out of the heat and somewhere where you can do some maintenance, you'll want to remove that switch. The paper clip fits in the small hole when the key is in the "I" position. It releases a catch that lets you unscrew the black collar and replace the switch. Once you've got the key to the "I" position (compared to 0 and II), try not to remove it until you've released the collar.

If the key gets stuck or you can't it to turn, you'll need to do some work.
