The interlock systemis not functioning correctly.
When in P position, does the indicator light show in dash with key on?
Try wiggling the gear shift or shifting out and back.

Can you please help. Tried moving shifter. You can even move shifter without pushing on break. Why won't key turn back?

Sorry for delay in replying. If removing the battery allows you to remove the key, it means the interlock system is faulty.

A faulty Park and Neutral switch ( transmission range switch can cause this. You would need to do some diagnosis to get to the cause of the problem.
