Default Key stuck in ignition!

Does anyone know which wires at the base of the floor shifter will bypass the micro switch so i can get my key out of ignition???

I'm not sure but I had the same problem, just yank the key out and spray some baster lubricant in it

You may want to try turning the steering wheel first. Its happened to me were I shut the car off and because of the steering lock and the way the wheels were turned slightly the key wouldn't come out. Yanking it out may result to breaking the key off inside of the ignition switch.
Edit- Actually this was turning the car on and not be able to turn the key to ignition. Were you able to get it out?
