Make sure your gear shift, I am assuming it's an automatic, is all the way
in Park. Give it a little bump forward, this happens with my 2000 Cherokee
on occasion. If its not all the way in Park, the key won't come out.

it's a common issue and you need to take it to a locksmith to get a new key
and cylinder
i would say go to dealer but most want to sell you a new coloum when you don't
need it
since the the thing is stuck in the run postion it should release from the
colum
