Hi. My local MOT station has somehow managed to get the key jammed such that it will only move (reluctantly!) between ignition on, and Park. It doesn't move freely, and won't go round to the Off position, despite lots of jiggling, twisting, and WD-40! Any ideas on how to resolve? Frustratingly I can't use the bike until I get this fixed.

Two possible issues
1 - The pins etc have screwed up in the Barrel
2- the switching mechanism contacts have misformed in the switching mechanism at the bottom of the switch and won’t allow to move back
I would look at taking the bottom plastic cover off but wait for some more opinions

I'm assuming the key wont come out in the park position? that would suggest, as petes already said, something in the barrel

From memory if you take the lock out there is a pin that holds the barbell in drill or knock that out you should be able to withdraw the barrel
