the key got stuck in the ignition

Is the car parked next to a curb with the wheel turned? Hold the steering wheel with both hands and turn wheel left to right. It will turn a little. If it turns a little one way but not the other,hold wheel in the middle of the turn and then see if key will turn. Sometime if tire is against something,it wheel put to much pressure on steering column and key won't turn.

My key was stuck and would not come out. I then put the car in neutral and pushed the lever forward and then the key released. Now it will release in park when I do the same thing.. However my shifter lever cable is loose on my car.
