"Spinal Tap" star Michael McKean has been released from a Manhattan hospital after a car crashed into him last week, breaking his leg -- but he's not out of the woods yet.

Michael just released a statement ... telling TMZ, he's out of St. Luke's Hospital where he spent the last week -- and has now moved to nearby Roosevelt Hospital for extensive rehab.

Michael was struck by an out-of-control car on the Upper West Side last Tuesday. He was one of 3 people injured in the accident.

McKean said, "I am heading into week two with renewed admiration for New York City's Emergency Medical Service staff, the NYPD, the staff of St. Luke's Hospital ... and all those with problems much greater than my own."

Hopefully, he also got his iPhone back.

Moments after "This is Spinal Tap" actor Michael McKean got slammed by an out-of-control driver, he was strapped to a stretcher with one thought running through his mind -- where's my iPhone??!!!

McKean, aka Lenny from "Laverne & Shirley," suffered a broken leg when the car hit him Tuesday in Manhattan ... which is NOT funny.

What is funny is this video of McKean desperately asking for his iPhone, even as EMTs are treating him. The second he got it, McKean started tapping on the screen -- despite being strapped into a neck brace and stretcher. EMTs actually had to pry the phone out of his hands.

Hit by a car? There's an app for that.
