Key will not turn to the off position

[JohnB1023]

My brother was in the car and thought the motor was running because a CD was playing and yanked the shifter out of park. When I got home after I dropped him off I couldn't turn the key to the off position.The next morning I disconnected the battery, then I could turn it to off and pull my key out. I'm thinking something broke in the neutral safety switch or ....    I know someone out there have some ideas before I start spending all kinds of money? Thank you ahead of time

Did you try to start the car and then turn the key to the off position?

Yes i did

Okay, then the neutral safety switch would be my guess, also.
