With the key stuck in the accessory position the steering wheel is locked and the gearshift is locked in the park position. Perhaps you should consider having a locksmith change the key cylinder where it is, or else have it towed to the garage.

Replace the ignition lock cylinder.

my 1985 ford crown Victoria ignition has locked up! what do i do?
Could have something to do with the shifter not going all the way in to park. The key may be excessively worn, the pin that locks the steering wheel may be hung up, the lock and tumbler may be bad....
I would replace the lock cylinder.
The same thing happened to my 1984 300SD. I removed the instrument cluster (speedo, tach, fuel guage, etc.). Using a hammer, I tapped firmly on the lock assembly while twisting the key in the tumbler.
The only way to remove the keys locked in a Mercedes C200 2010 is to take the backseat out or call a locksmith.
