After putting in a new battery, the key was able to turn off all the way and be removed easily, and also the car started just fine. Such a simple solution for what I thought was going to be an expensive problem. Thanks for all the responses though.
I have been through this guy's exact symptoms on my 97... replaced the battery and everything was fine... until the next morning. Car wouldn't start again. All I get is a clicking sound.

Can anyone help?
