    Is it a CD30/similar with 4 holes for keys?

    If it is I find applying pressure to top and bottom of the key allows you to push them in further :)

    Failing that - take the glovebox out and push it out from the back with the keys still inserted.

    (I've never seen the interior of an Agila - the above statements are based on my experience with my own Astra H)

    Sometimes these radio can be tricky, make sure your keys are straight & level, if bend and the legs are sightly different lengths this will make it harder to remove radio, also apply a little pressure side ways on pins while pull back to remove radio
