Electrical problem
1999 Chrysler Town and Country All Wheel Drive Automatic 120000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
The key was taken of the switch while car was running (without turning it around). After that, I put the key in the switch and tried to turn it around, it did not work. The key would not turn around at all . Then I turned the steering, so got locked.
Now, I have two problems, the first problem is more important to solve than the second question.
Is there a way that I could make the key turn around inside the switch? Is there a way to unlock the steering.

Try using a small hammer and tapping the key inward...these lock cylinders are known problem areas....200.00 for a new lock, plus labor to install.
