Can't get key out of ignition lock V70-XC70 2002

Klaus, Thank You. It appears to be fixed. My 2002 does have a cable attached to the back side of the lock assembly. I was able to remove the lock, two 13mm bolts from the top side. I couldn't release the cable. Pushing on the release tab only enabled me to move it out about 10mm. I didn't want to force anything and break it, my fingers were starting to freeze, so I sprayed a cleaner in where the cable was, moved it in and out, then about 8 drops of oil while moving it back and forth. I put it all back together, connected the battery and so far the key turns back to the 0 position like a hot knife going thru butter.
I'll try to post 5 pics with some text, never did that on this forum before.
Next I'm going to make a contribution to this site.
Thank for all the help to everyone.
If any of you need any E39 BMW 5 Series (1996-2003) help, let me know.
