Has anyone had the problem of the key fob getting stuck in the steering column, in a car with a "Start" button?

I've never actually had the fob get stuck, but it does seem that there is a specific sequence of pushing the start/stop button, and pushing fob in/out. Sometimes, I guess I get ahead of myself somehow, and the fob won't come out immediately....is this the problem you are having? Or, does the fob just never want to come out?

I hardly use the fob with the comfort access feature. Mine pops out nicely with a push in.

It only happened once, and shortly after that the car went unconscious and ended up needing a new CAS module.
