See my profile....I do not know much about your rig, I am a CJ kina Guy.

I'm sure some of this has been attempted...But here goes!

Pull/ turn the steering wheel either direction while trying the key thing.

If you have "TILT STEERING" tilt both directions, don't slam it, but do it with a purpose...while doing the Key thing

You may also check linkage to your tranny, for like foreign objects wedged in......simply shaking it may un-bind it.

Other than that EZ stuff, consult a repair manual for other parts that would affect you.

Your key switch may be messed up....have you/ can you.... tried a different key?

Let me know what happens....With GOOD NEWS!
