I'm betting the problem at the end switch at the shifter. I'd bet on a broken wire even though you've checked them. But, to get the key out is easy enough. Under the bottom of the steering column there's a panel that is removeable. It can be pulled down from the front side {closest to the dash} & removed. It seems like the piece will break but it'll come off with a downward yank. You will then see a plunger on the right hand side of the key cylinder. It is metal cylinder about 3/8" in diameter. You can simply push & hold this cylinder upward & the key will turn & can be removed. You could actually operate it like this as long as needed without any problem.
