Just so you guys are clear the current question asker revived a 2 year old thread. I wouldn't mention it except we are quoting people from two years ago who answered the original question.

For the guy with the question, use the search and you'll find loads and loads about ignition switch replacement.

"use search" - this is what I did and I got here, this discussion matches my issue the best.
Regarding 2 years thread - some are 2 days, weeks, etc. Time is time, people are still able to reply. It means that topic is interesting. I don't see any problem here neither and I am closing this sub-thread.
Regards,
Kris

Thanks for tips. My concern is that ignition switch itself is OK, but signal from gearbox is NOK. By this I mean that ignition switch doesn't know that I put gearbox to parking ant this is the reason that I can't take out the key.
Doe's anyone know how to verify signal coming to the ignition switch? On the instrument I see that it is changing into P, but I am expecting signal wire from gearbox to the ignition switch to be the issue.
I will replace switch anyway.
I want to check signal before. Maybe any picture with descr. which cable to check with multimeter?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for some advises (and lack of them later on).
Issue solved.
I have swapped ignition switch - didn't help.

I have opened middle tunnel (around lever), pulled a bit steel wire that goes from gear stick switch to ignition lock - problem solved.
