1990 Acura Integra
Car doesn’t know or takes time to know that the tranny is in Park and engine is off - until then it does not let the key to be removed despite the engine is turned off!
What kind of fix - it was poorly maintained car
Rock the steering wheel a little to the right and remove the key.The steering wheel will be in the lock position but you have a little play there.

Are you saying it is not a tranny issue at all?
@Tester and others
For older cars, I deliberately go to the dealership with the VIN and have a brand new key cut from the VIN itself. This is to avoid lock cylinders getting worn badly.
On my 1999 car with 135k miles, one old key was thrown out - the 2nd key now stopped working properly when I try to open the door - but the freshly cut key works fine!
Though I am using a fresh cut key, I ran into the same issue.
I pushed the assembly a bit and key came out easily. Mechanic said there is no bolt at the bottom - apparently it supposed to be there.
Is there a fix other than changing the lock?
