Default replaced neutral safety switch - engine won't start, key stuck, can't change gears

I just replaced the neutral safety switch on my 2000 Honda civic lx and now when I went to start the car, all my electronics come on the engine doesn't turn over and the key becomes stuck in the ignition, and I cant move the gear into park its like its locked, is there anyway to bypass whatever this is?

What? An auto civic has no neutral safety switch. Post pictures of the switch you replaced.

What do you mean by engine won't turn over - crank or start problem?

Either you bought the wrong AT gear position switch (not neutral safety switch), installed it incorrectly, or blew one or more dash fuses because you didn't disconnect the battery when doing electrical work.
