I just bought this truck yesterday and sometimes the key gets stuck in the ignition and when it does the cylinder comes right out of the ignition with the key. What could be the problem?

Sounds like a bad tumbler it should lock in and never come out

This morning I went to start it and I just heard a single click when I tried to start it. It will not start now.

Mostly a single click is the fault of a starter, but with the problem you are having with the key I would make sure its a bad starter first.
