We had same problem. Key just one day got stuck and would not go back to the "position 1" unable to get key out.
very difficult to explain what the issue is but I took some pictures.
This picture is of the top part of where key goes This is what seems to be broken.
It was freezing out today so I didn't mess with it too much but was finally able to get the key out.

I have no Idea what I'm looking at or even where to start. If anybody can chime in would greatly appreciate it.
If I could just find this part I would love to avoid the dealer and attack this myself
