Key on Javelin or AMX stuck in the ignition?

[WWI Flying Ace]

Mine was for years...and then an old grizzled mechanic told me the trick to getting Excalibur out of the stone...twist the metal shank around the steering column by hand, about a half turn or less if I remember correctly. I think it was clockwise but it was a long time ago so may be wrong. Either way, that is all it took, and the key came out like normal.

Nice tip.
