make sure the car is in park. if it is then you might have a bad battery. charge the battery and get it checked. you might need a new one.
You will need to remove the tire and wheel from your 1998 Pontiac Grand Am. Remove the brake assembly spring from the brake pads. The brake pads will come off. Reverse the process to install the new brake pads.
Trans has to come out the bottom.
I had the same problem with my Grand Am and there is a recall on the ignition switch. I had to take the vehicle to an authorized GM dealer and they replaced it for me at no cost.
on top of the engine there is a cover sheild. remove the cover by the four bolt. the plug boots will come with it, the spark plugs are down in the holes.

If you have an auto trans, check to make sure the car is in park. If the shift lever is even slightly misaligned, (even though the indicator says PARK) your key won't come out.
I have a 2002 Grand Prix and mine does this sometimes and I have to wiggle my battery cables and it will start right up but it could also be caused by a bad ignition or fly wheel I had a 93 Grand Prix that did the same thing. Problem was caused by a tumbler in the ignition switch being out of alignment; that would not allow the starter to receive power.
