I put the key in, turned it, all the electrical stuff came on, but it would not start.  When I went to take it out, the key wouldn't turn all the way to the off position. So it won't come out.  Looking at the key, it seems possible it did not go in all the way.  Is this this possible and if so, is there any way to release the tumbler so I can get the key out?

Steering wheel tension  may be binding key tumblers. Turn steering wheel left and right or so there,s no return pull. This worked for me one time.recheck that your in good park or neutral.
