I can't get my key out of the ignition. I can still drive it fine but doors won't lock and the shifter will move without engaging the brake.

Key stuck after noticing anti-theft light coming on. Replaced new cylinder lock with new key, kept old key for trunk & doors to save money. Also needed new dash cluster, it wouldn't take code from new passlock.
