2001 Cadillac DTS 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

car working fine all day. at home and turned car off, the key would not release from ignition. the car gear stayed in drive, so i took battery out of car. put it back in. and still the gear is in drive and the key finally came out of the ignition, so i put the key back in ignition, but car wont crank up. the lights, radio, windows still work, the gear is still in drive and wont budge. what is the problem?
