Amazing how much dirty crud can accumulate down in that ignition keyhole (or how little can cause trouble)!! My 1999 9-5 ignition lock acted up once a year ago and I got it tamed with a little WD-40. This time - worse symptoms - lights on, key wouldn't release, etc. Got the ignition lock released from the car and spent 2 hours of oiling and cloth wiping with my favorite TriFlow lubricant and working the key in and out and rotating the cylinder mechanism. Eventually, the microdirt seemed to quit, the cylinder was popping up like it's supposed to and the cylinder is now lubed with Teflon. Now the occasional hang up is some catching with the gear shifter that blocks the cylinder from full off position (probably crud in there too...)
