It could be the neutral safety switch if it is an automatic transmission car. If it is a manual transmission car their is a safety switch in the clutch pedal. If these check out ok then check the starter solenoid

SOURCE: can't remove car key

I assume that your car has an automatic transmission - If so, try holding your shift lever higher in the PARK position when you try to remove the key.

Ignition lock and switch
it is possible that when the key jammed it actually broke one of the actuator arms in the steering column so when the key is turned it is not moving the arm hence not moving the switch for starting purposes. located the switch under the steering column and remove it. try to start the car manually using it. if it works the actuator arm inside the column is broken and needs to be replaced.

Is replacing the ignition lock cylinder the same as replacing the ignition switch?
No. The switch itself is actually farther down on the steering column (nearly to your feet), operated by a rod that is pushed by the lock cylinder. If you're not pretty mechanically inclined, this is not a job for an amateur. Lots of little pieces to lose, etc.

I think you were on the right track with the key lock and ignition switch. It sounds like the lock is not turning the switch far enough.
There are gears between the lock cylinder and switch that may not be aligned up right.
The anti-theft system would prevent the engine from cranking, but the security light should be flashing if the system thinks the truck is being stolen.
