I am a first time engine re-builder, trying to dismantle the engine on my 2000cc Berlina. I have removed the bottom pulley from the crank end but cannot get the key out of the associated key way. Shouldn't this almost fall out? Any tips or advice on how to get it out?

Engine has 130000 miles and this its the first time its has been apart.

Why you want to take out the key?

They often need to be pried out. Falling out is a bit loose...
