My Key falls from ignition switch turning into a driveway or if i hit a bump? Is it the key or are the pins in the lock shot, maybe the pin springs. I have put a piece of tape on the key before to give it more height when copying a new key, that helped a bit but was years ago. I'm sure its a mess if the lock has to come out?

 

It depends. I had a Subaru that did that. In that case, it was the key. It was almost worn completely smooth. The spare key didn't do it.

I actually thought it was pretty nice. When I was warming the car up in the morning in the winter, I could go out, turn it on, and just take the key with me back into the house

 

Took all my cylinders to a locksmith (one of the tumbler bodies was repaired by goobers with JB Weld)
picked up a replacement at pick a part for spare parts, got them all looked at and R&R'd,
plus a new key for a total of $21 including $1 to enter pick a part

 

Yeah I hear ya. my key looks like a long screw and no bumps much to lift the pins. I did have a problem starting the motor a month or so ago. Will have to look for the original key which isn't much better really. Think I'll get a key blank and try to hand cut it with a file leaving higher humps, probably wont work with a double sided key but not going to take the lock out if its hard to do. think i'll search for removing ignition lock.... Tx, Bill

ADDED; ok, found searching, after removing the plastic cover then with key in ignition turned to accessory theres a small hole next to where key goes and using a long pin or wire push and remove key cylinder thingy. If its that easy will try it. Better to do it now than getting stuck far from home. Doesn't sound like a very safe lock, some said almost any key of same type could work

 

But a good key and good tumblers keep the stupid away.
You found the same info I had in my Haynes manual.
As with other Haynes errors I've found, I followed the directions blindly.
Pulled the steering wheel, had to borrow a puller as Haynes says
you have to remove the column shroud, wheel has to go to do
that without breaking it.
This is all to "insert a paperclip" on the left side of the ignition
assembly while the key is in ACC.
Turns out, at least on my 91 that the place to put the clip is
straight underneath, not to the left, making everything else unnecessary.
Getting the door locks out is far more difficult, but obvious just by looking.
I should have looked first, kinda disappointed with Haynes,
but they have the specifications, even if the instructions are wrong.
I did CV axles couple weeks ago, tore that whole page out as BS, just wrong.
Somebody here made a far better suggestion that actually worked.

 

If the truck still starts, I don't see the problem here... In my 2005 Tundra, my key hasn't "locked in" in years and I love it!! I can go out to start my truck on a cold winter morning and pull the key so I can lock the house when I leave. I can also pull the key when I need my keys to open my mailbox so I don't have to turn the truck off. And I can pull the keys when I need to use my bottle opener or pocket knife. It's an excellent feature!!! Only problem is that key no longer unlocks the doors (and my keyless entry crapped out a long time ago) so I got another key made at the dealership so that I could unlock the doors.

 

I like them that way, but a code cut key will likely fix your issue.

 

^^^^This. I think of it as an extra feature. I do warn guys that you need to put a bungee or something on it when you roll so you can turn it off, it won't stall. (propane).
