But it could be not coming back into proper off position as in tranny not fully in park or such a thing.
Hard ta say with out looking will be interesting to c what dealer says about it.
yeah, it does sound like a snaged waffer. do/did you use your key for anything other than the ignition, like opening beer bottles or sawing? you might have damaged the key to the point the waffer snaged on a deep cut. the waffer might be bent due to a deep cut key or a spring dropped and got wedged in the tumbler. in any event, have that ingition looked into, even if you get the key out, im sure the issue will happen again.

im not sure if tundra ignitions use split waffer pins like some other toyotas, they are more sensitive to deep cut keys than regular waffers.
