I found that the reverse gear in the ignition easily gets hung up. Probably from garage mechanics not realizing it has to be in reverse and forcing it.
The best long term fix is to remove the reverse keylock tab out of the shifter housing. It is a bit of work, but once I removed it, no more problems.
It would hang up until I wiggled the shifter as far into reverse as I could while carefully trying to turn the key. I think this can free the lever if it is stuck. The spring that brings it back when you turn the key is really lightweight and the tab that locks out reverse is relatively heavy..
