Default can't put my key into lock position

i have a 95 accord automatic and i just finished putting a head unit in and when i went to take the key out i wouldn't turn into the lock position. therefore i can't take the key out. i made sure it was all the way into park. i turned the steering wheel. i pushed the key all the way in and turned. nothing seems to be working. now, i put the key into the shift lock hole. would that have anything to do with it? someone please help?!!!

If you didn't leave anything disconnected, check your fuses.

i checked the fuses and they're okay. it is the original key not a spare copy. i tried putting the stock radio back in and that didn't help. i was able to get the key out by unplugging the wiring harness from the ignition, but by doing that everything in the car turns off. and if i plug it back in i have the same problem. the key gets stuck again. i'm completely out of ideas. i did a search and i guess the same thing happened to someone's RL. but his just eventually came out. someone? anyone? help?

Do your brake lights and horn work?
