    I think that your key has cracked inside the switch, or maybe there is a broken or stuck tumbler. Ignition switches are VERY difficult to work on, but maybe try spraying some pb blaster or liquid wrench into the key hole and working the switch back and forth, but don't pull on the key too hard or you might break it off inside the switch, in which case you would almost certainly have to disassemble the steering column to remove the switch. If you normally have to pull a lever or push a button to release the key, then it is likely that that mechanism is broken.
