2015 XV, bought brand new, no issues till now, at 38K miles, occasionally can't get key out of ignition switch. Brake lights work fine, and it shifts in and out of park OK. When this occurs I restart, apply foot brake, shift out of park and then back into park, turn key to off and attempt to remove key, usually works, but sometimes have to repeat several times. Searched the web, mostly likely cause may be the Park Interlock Solenoid? Just inquiring if anyone else has had and solved this issue? Thanks

I recently began noticing this situation occasionally too on my '16 Trek. I'll get to my destination (or back home in the garage) and can't get the key to turn counterclockwise that final step to finally remove the key. I eventually do always manage to get it resolved but was getting worried what I'd do if it ever got really stuck and I couldn't shut the car off somewhere.
Going out to the garage just now when I could just play with it, it seemed to get stuck for me again. I figured out that just gently pushing the key inward just a little bit more it felt like there's a spring mechanism inside with about 1/8" of play. Pushing the key inward to the steering column freed it up for removal. I'll try this again next time it happens to me unexpectedly. Hopefully that's all it is.
