Stuck keys are usually because there is pressure on a locked steering wheel.
Try to turn the steering wheel hard while you turn the key.
There are also instances where the key just jams for no apparent reason. I have found turning the engine back on again then turning it off with the wheels straight (no pressure on the wheel) can usually release the key.
