Sticky key? Hard time getting key out. And AC question?
I've noticed my key is hard to remove sometimes. One time I barely got it out after several minutes of trying. I've figured out it seems to be better if I restart the car, put it in drive and then park again. What could it be? 9/10 times it works just fine.
Also, my air conditioner continues to make a lot of noise even after shutting the car off. It only lasts for maybe 20 seconds though. Is that normal?

There is a cable between the shifter and the ignition switch that prevents taking out the key when the shifter is not in position "P". Sometimes it develops a free play. Next time this happens try to push the shifter forward and take out the key. If it works you know where your problem is.

I believe the A/C noise is normal. I noticed it in mine as well its almost like its still going then vents are closing or something and only lasts about 20 seconds. also the A/C make a bubbling noise if you listen quietly but a lot of people have noticed this as well.
