Description of the problem	Key stuck in ignition. Parked mini-van, cannot remove key from ignition. While turning counter clockwise, stopped at acc position. Can turn key clockwise, restart engine, turn off engine, key would not turn counter clockwise past acc position. Took to dealer, dealer could not duplicate problem. Cost $170. 2 days after pick up mini-van from dealer, wife drove to grocery store, could not remove key from ignition. Checked internet, seems that there has been a problem going on since 2006 with numerous kia vehicles but no technical service bulletins. I was able to duplicate it once. I could not turn key counter clockwise past acc, when i took foot off brake pedal, vehicle rocked slightly, heard click and saw gear selector lever shudder. Now could turn key and remove from ignition. I think something wrong with shifter linkage not releasing microlock in ignition.
