Is the steering wheel locked? if so, wiggle the steering wheel back and forth while takin the key out, i did the same thing when i got my car, and i was like O **** WTF!? and that fixed my problems lol

Take a chain...hook one end to a pickup truck, the other end to the key. Pull...

Okay, seriously, just wiggle it like a son of a bitch. If it really is stuck, you'll need a new ignition, or just tear yours apart. Buying a new ignition sucks since the new key won't open the locks, so just take the steering wheel off, and go at the ignition that is screwed up.

That happpned a lot in my 91 teg. It was an automatic and it wouldnt give the key up fro mthe ignition. Found out later that the electrical contact in the shifter wasn't good and the car thought i wasnt in park
