98 SE ATX

Wife called me this evening, said she was having trouble getting the key out of the ignition. I verified that the key didn't want to release from the lock cylinder in the normal OFF position. By slowly rotating the key a bit forward towards the RUN position, it released. I was able to duplicate this at least a dozen times. Of course, she said that she had tried this earlier and it hadn't worked.

Since this isn't good enough for her, any ideas on what has worn out? My guess is the lock cylinder is starting to show its age after 77K miles. Comments?
