If it's an automatic, try pushing the shift lever into Park a little more next time the key gets stuck and try to remove the key to see if that makes a difference.

Just saw your other post that it's a 2006 Accord, at first I thought it was a 1992 due to your user name.

Since yours is a 2006, this other thread here may be a more specific cause of your problem:

You can also try pushing in on the key as you turn it to the off position.

Auto trans? If the car doesn't "think" it is in park then the key will not "turn off", allowing it to come out of the cyl.
