Thanks for all the replies - it seems like it is more related to it being on a slight angle that the key needs to be put in. When we were out at the lake it backed in fine, thus it seems like it wired fine. But once we got home and were on a slight angle to back into the driveway we had to put the key in to unlock the brakes. Seems like the way it will have to be.
