Turn steering wheel (side to side) vigorously while moving key to position to remove it. It should remove now unless you tried putting key in upside down & it will require pliers to tug and remove.
SOURCE: Ignition will not turn
we had the same issue with ours a few weeks back, i was prepared to remove the key assembly. i started disassembling the steering column and removed all the trim, and while removing all the trim and the lighted key ring from the switch, i noticed a small pin on the side of the keysitch housing, if you put your key inot the switch and try to turn it, this pin moves in and out as the key is turned, ours wouldnt budge, or was stuck. i pressed it a few times with a small screwdriver, and sprayed it with some trusty wd40, and walla. it now works fine. would probably tak you about half hour to fix if you wanted to try what i did, if not then you may need to call a locksmith. i hope this helps, although you may have a different problem than we did.

Check that the battery terminals and posts are shiny clean and tight. Have a load test done on the battery as it may be dead.
