If the key is stuck in the off position, try pulling straight up with pliers. Do not bend or twist the key as it may break. If the key is stuck in the on position you will probably need to replace the key barrel. There are little tabs sticking out inside the barrel and the knotches on the key clear them when you turn the key. They are spring loaded and if the spring breaks or gets jammed, it will lock up the key. I have overcome the spring as mentioned with pliers. But you must be careful as the barrel could be up to about a hundred dollars and the key is another up to fifty bucks itself. If you break it, added costs. If you give the dealer your VIN number, they will order a barrel that matches your key.
Good Luck!
Sometimes a hard turn of the steering wheel will unlock the wheel and you'll be able to remove the key. I had to try this several times. It took 5-10 minutes. Breathe deeply and stay patient.
