I'm sorry to hear you are having this problem. I know this can be frustrating.
Without knowing all of the information like the vehicle history, the components that have been tested or replaced, and the results of any tests that need to be run, I can only give you a general answer to your question.
The first thing that needs to be checked is to make sure the vehicle battery has a good charge in it. If it is low on voltage that will cause this issue to occur and the voltage issue has to be resolved.
If the battery is found to be o.k. then the fault with the key being stuck in the slot can be due to the vehicle not in the park position or an issue with the ignition slot that it enters into needing to be replaced.
The vehicle will need to be inspected further to identify the source of the fault so it can be repaired properly.
