I'm not expert but I too had this problem with my 98 Malibu. When I turn my car of I have to push the shifter (where it says drive, reverse,etc.) forward or backwards a little, try that you should hear a click then turn you're key to the off position. My mechanic said that my steering column was worn and had a slight crack in it.
