Sometimes the ignition gets locked with the wheel turned...I usually move the wheel back and forth and then turn the key. Sometimes you got to put a little, dare I say, force into it....

This happens all the time to me... try wiggling the shift selector around to make it fall into Park(P) better.

yep, wiggle the wheel back and forth and turn the key at same time. use alittle force since there won't be any power steering,

Listen to this man, he knows exactly what he's talking about! I got the same "problem" when I first got my car, didn't know how to operate it properly... Before you can take the car out of the ignition or turn, Shifter MUST, and I mean MUST stay in P (PARK).

Question: Are you sure you just took the car out for gas, not for pimping with the females???
Good luck!

GS4Fun: You're scaring the kid, his dad probably would give him a little "talk" we didnt' tell him how to fix the problem. HAHAHA

Hello There,
PLease be careful putting undue forxe on the ignition key. On delivery of the car, I noticed that one key was slightly cracked around the "panic" button, clear over to the right, past the red light indicator L.E.D. That was caused by someone NOT turning the wheel, and twisting the plastic key fob. I used some crazy glue (after I removed the inside, applied the glue and allowed to dry). Once reassembled, it seems to work well so far, but had it not worked, the new key is about $218 at Lexus and $147 at Sewell Lexus.
