That lever allows you to turn the key to LOCK. Without pressing the lever you should only be able to turn it to OFF, not lock, and not remove the key. It is only on manual trans vehicles, automatics do that with the shift handle. You can only turn an automatic to LOCK and remove the key when it is in park.
