It seems like there's a problem there (but >it's late on Friday and my brain might be fried). Disable the requirement for putting it in reverse to remove the key. Assuming its possible (electronic/mechanical switch), it would require a mechanic. Yes its a safety feature, and I don't need a lecture about safety features. (Other cars don't have it. 99.9999% of the people out there doesn't seem to have problems with that..)
