I had Honda cut a new key. This didn't solve the problem.

When it holds on to the key the transmission may lock and the engine may not
start. If I wait a few minutes or overnight the key will come out easily.

If the selector is in park and won't start and key won't come out then
that's the selector problem. Check out how to adjust the switch here.
