After getting out of work, went to store, and when returned to car, was unable to insert key into ignition. At first I thought I must be in the wrong car! Nope, all my stuff WAS in this car,so I must be in my car! I tried and tried to push key into slot, but I just wouldn't go in at all! I searched online and found that this happened with some 2005 Passats and a few BMW's. I read and tried everything. I called the used car manager I bought the car from, but she didn't answer. Finally, I was so angry, I tried using a pocket knife to poke into the hole. I couldn't see welll enough using my cell phone light to see what happened, but it slid onto the slot, and then I wiggled it and jiggled it, took it out, and after that the slot accepted my key. Once home I was scared to take the key out. Others with this problem had left their key in the ignition and covered it with a black rag, using their second key to gain access. I doubt that this model year would lock with a key in the ignition, so I prayed and took it out. Then I squirted a bit of general purpose oil in, and lubed up the key. Fortunately, so far it hasn't happened again!
