Ok.. wife is stuck at home with the key stuck in the ignition. It will turn forward but the car wont start. It will not turn back all the way to be able to take the key out. I am not at home so I can not fully diagnose it. I searched online and found how to get the key to release but the lock cylinder is still not in the off position. I dont know if the battery is dead, it maybe as she said nothing came on when she turned the key. Is there a relationship between a dead battery and key not releasing? She also states she can not get the shifter to move from the park position.... help.
