Default Ignition key stuck!

My ignition key is stuck and won't let me turn off the engine. Has anyone had this problem? Do I need to take it in to the shop or is it something I could try? Hurry, car is still running!

Did the same to mine when I replaced the steering wheel - cranked the nut down allowing the wheel to turn against the ignition lock! Pull the ECM fuse or disconnect it's lead at the positive battery cable, then after it dies, disconnect the battery. To repair it, you'll have to remove the wheel and a host of other parts to access the lock. You'll probably need a new key (I did) for the new assembly.
