    I'm having difficulty removing the ignition key from the steering column
    of my '95 Civic. I turn off the engine but the key won't come out. I
    have noticed that if I shift the automatic transmission lever out of
    Park and back to Park again, sometimes that tricks it into letting me
    take the key out. So I suspect it has something to do with that
    interlock that prevents you from removing the key when the transmission
    is engaged.

    This behavior started after I had the transmission shift cable serviced.
    Did my mechanic screw up something?

    yes - the cable needs to be adjusted.
