Description of the problem	Vw beetle (2013) would not turn off as the key was stuck in ignition while the car was running! Stopped at gas station to fill up and when i tried to remove key, would not come out. Had experience problem the day before but thought using a different key would help but it didn't--same problem. Have experienced frequent problems with key in ignition since purchasing beetle. Drove car to two mechanics and they could not get car out of ignition so drove home to be in familiar environment and called roadside assistance and they were unable to get key out of ignition and could not get car engine to turn off. Received help from multiple people but still couldn't get key out of ignition and car to turn off--4 hours later, finally mechanic provided instruction to disconnect battery, fuse pump, and fuse box while car was running--which helped to turn the car off; however, it also leaves car susceptible to other issues. I also had to leave my car in open parking spot--with the key in it--leaving it at risk of being stolen!
