2000 Buick Regal 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently bought a repo buick regal and I am having trouble with the key coming out of the ignition.
I am thinking that they either overrode the security or they changed the ignition for the key. The key that I have only fits the driver door and the ignition.
After driving when I park the car the key will not come out, sometimes I have to let it sit with the key in it for about 20 minutes and then it will come out.
It is not the original ignition key because it does not have the chip in it.

If the key won't come out, that doesn't have anything to do with the security system. Chances are the tumbler has been damaged and will need replaced.
