Yeah a lot of times the column will lock and will lock the key in there also. Wiggling the wheel, or starting the car and shutting it off again will usually get it out.

I had this issue with my 94 once. I had to get under the center console and adjust the cable to let the shifter more fully than usual go into park.

Ok i did get the key out. I took apart the dash and released the igniton cylinder. Then i opened the center console. and released the brake line so i can get to work. (Temp fix) I'm going to look into diagnosing it later today if not then i will have to get a new shifter.
