Hi everyone, I have a Renault Clio 5 and my key got slightly bent. I managed to force it into the ignition and start the car so I could get home. The problem is that I can’t get the key out of the ignition now. 😭 I’m afraid of forcing it too much because I don’t want to break the key inside the ignition or damage the ignition lock. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a specific position the key needs to be in to remove it, or any safe way to get it out when the key is slightly bent? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
