my key is stuck

well yesterday my brakes went out. the brake hose sprung a leake so i fixed that today. i still need to bleed the brakes but last night after the brakes went out my key got stuck in the ignition. i cant figure out what the problem is. the car is all the way in park and the car has power and starts. let me know what you think.

that happened to me, and it wasn't "clicking" into park. That little gizmo that "clicks" might be stuck...
