    There is 2 small holes on column by the ignition, pull the rubber but off it just pushes in. take a pencil and put it in the hole closes to the key. You will feel a something click. when you do it will release your key. the part is called a tiger paw it is a dealer only part it cost $50.

    Our key got stuck due to a wiring problem in shifter also. There is a fix kit from dealer specifically for this situation. Evidently body control module thinks car is in gear and will not allow tumbler to rotate to off position.
