Try playing with the shifter and shifter button see if it turn's off that way.There is a small panel that come's off the the underside of where the key goes in pop that off and you can move the rod to turn the key off.You are going to have remove the center console to check the micro switch and linkage that run's that solenoid that keeps your key from turning off.
