Ignition cylinder issues

Hey guys, for whatever reason when I pulled in the driveway yesterday and turned the truck off, my key wouldn't come out of the ignition cylinder. This forced me to grab a drill bit, push in the punch pan and pull the cylinder out.

When a cylinder is out I can turn the key just fine and take it out of the cylinder, but when it's in the steering column, I can't turn the cylinder far back enough so that he will slide out. What part of the column might be causing this issue?

1994 F350

Update: Never mind, when I left this morning and then stopped where I was going, I was able to get the key out and have ever since. I think perhaps the gear selector was somehow in between Park and reverse.
