Usually this occurs when your car isn't set to park. Make sure it shifts all the way.

this happened to me once too. I had braked hard and put in it park too soon. take it out of park and put it back and keep checking to see if key comes out.

Yeah this happens to me only when the shifter isn't all the way up to parked, needs that extra press to lock it in place like the others.

Same idea, someone threw a brick through my windshield. I had it all replaced, but some of the bits of glass stuck around the shift **** and kept it from going to normal position. I could not start the car. Finally I figured the source and it was OK.
Good luck,
Dave
