The major hardwares in Canada seem to push Jig-A-LOo (sp?) but I finally
found LockEase at a real locksmith. Previous can lasted several years

Does the transmission indicator light indicate "P" when the key is
hard to remove? (I assume the transmission is in P at this point.)

Here in Arizona NAPA carries LockEase. I agree - good stuff. Wash the WD-40
out of the lock with brake cleaner before spraying anything else in it,
though, because the remaining WD-40 will turn gummy in a few years and then
nothing will get it out. Lord knows I've tried.
