Get a jump asap
Ask your boss for compassion and forgiveness. Explain about the GM ignition recall and say it will never happen again while outlining a plan to fix the root cause. (And get your battery on a charger while you are replacing your oem battery terminals.)

Dang, hope it went ok at work. I keep a booster pack in the back of my 3 that has jumpers and also has air compressor, light etc.

i once had a girl I helped that was stuck at the exit gate key fob station. She said the car wouldn't start etc since she turned off car and took keys out to swipe the fob. Turns out when I walked up and saw it wouldn't start I looked down and she was still in drive so I told her. Quick fix and she was on her way!

same thing happened in my deuce a while back, I turned the car back on, drove it around the block and it came out. unfortunately the issue repeatedly came up and I had to eventually take it to the dealership for a fix. apparently the wires are common to be worn out in there. sounds like the same issue

If it's the same as the H2, it's the wires that are attached to the connector clip that is attached to the shifter, that with time, they wear out and break off, causing the key to stay stuck in the ignition, this of course happens as well, if your battery is bad or dead!

What a great idea, GM! Man...how did we get by for all those years without this awesome feature?
