Is your steering wheel still turned all the way when you park? Maybe the steering lock is catching it.

My 2008 RDX did the exact same thing. I ended up having to remove the ground cable and left it overnight. the next morning it worked perfectly! No explanations except maybe the computer had to reset. Anybody else got any comments?

I had the same issue and took it to Acura for warranty. My issue was the shifter cable was not tight and the car was not fully engaging in park...in turn I could not remove the key. All they did was tighten the cable and it was fixed.
