  The Lock Cylinders on Honda can fail like this, sounds like you need a new one.

  You might also make sure nothing has gotten stuck around the gearshift..once I turned my car off and couldn't get my key out no matter what I did..the next day I went out and noticed a penny was stuck in there, so even though I had put the car in park, it didn't shift all the way, therefore my key wouldn't come out.

  Gear shift cable is out of adjustment or bad igniton switch/lock cylinder
