Thank you all for your advices, but now you gonna have to accept my appologies as the reason that I couldn't start the engine was because I left the gear stick on D. It was too early this morning to notice that, coz I never did that b4. Now at 3pm it was the first thing I saw... I'm so gutted.

Thanks again

You shouldn't actually be able to remove the key unless your car is in Park. 

Tru, but i've managed to do that

Try removing the HU with the gear stick in P.  I always take the key out when removing HU and the gear lever needs to be out of the way.  Perhaps I have a breaked Ignition barrel as well :-/

I've never looked what actually holds the key in the barrel til you're in Park, but I can if I play about enough get my key out too when in other than Park.
I have the other problem with my Astra, it can be a bugger getting the key out .... & that's a manual
