Answer
More data needed.
#1. Do you mean the key is stuck in the ignition, will not turn or come back out?


#2. Or are you trying to say the key goes in, comes out, but will not turn?

If it is #2. Have you wiggled the steering wheel hard while trying to gently turn the key?

If it turns, replace the failing, Ignition Lock Housing and Ignition Lock Cylinder immediately, you may not get another chance before it fails.
