I'm not sure I understand the problem. Are you saying that you turned the key to the locked position and now it won't release? If that's so, it can be a frozen lock or a bad ignition switch or a jammed steering wheel interlock or a transmission shift mechanism that's not lined up correctly or even a bad key. Get yourself a service manual and run through the systems I mentioned. My guess is that the steering wheel interlock is jammed, preventing the key from turning. Try jiggling the steering wheel back and forth as you move the key. You might have to jack the frony wheels off the ground to do it. If that doesn't work, you may have to pull the lock to check it out. Good luck. Hy
