My 1992 Acura Integra is having a problem with the key in the ignition. I can slide the key into the ignition and start the car with no trouble, but when turning the engine off, the key frequently won’t come out easily, even after using WD-40.

Try pushing the key in while turning it back. That's how it is in my '87 Integra. If that doesn't work then the assembly or key is probably worn down which is not all that uncommon.

I had a Fiat that did the same thing, i started using the spare key and that worked better for about six months. The tumblers got worn down from the key moving against them. I suppose that a locksmith could cut a new key that will fit or maybe replace the tumblers. I went to the Fiat dealer and bought a whole new lock assembly and put in.
