This sounds like an issue in the ignition lock solenoid. That is what keeps the key from being removed if the vehicle is not in park.

Take a look at this and let us know what questions you have. I included the testing and a TSB for this issue.

I can't thank you enough. I followed step one of the service procedure and the key released from the cylinder. I will be moving on to the next step and will let you know of my progress.
And thanks again you made my day.
