Try turning the key to on, stepoping on the brake pedal and putting the automatic shifter through some gears (no need to start the car). Return it back to park and then take the key out. The "shift lock release" that prevents the auto shifter from moving until a key is engaged and in the "on" position can fail, causing the key to be stuck in the ignition switch. Good Luck!
