That part has me concerned. I just went out and double checked mine before posting this to make sure, but I have the park lock solenoid removed and I can still ONLY remove my key when the ignition is in the off position. If you can take your key out in anything other than the off position, you have other issues in your ignition. The park lock solenoid has no affect over that function. It only is there to keep you from removing the key if the shifter is in any other position other than park. I can remove my key in drive if I really wanted to, but I still have to turn the ignition off first.
