My key is getting stuck in the ignition on a daily basis. I have been quoted a price of 500.00 to repair this problem.

As a temporary fix, try lubricating the lock cylinder (where key inserts) with some WD40 or equivalent light oil. Work in the oil very well using your key. You may also consider trying a spare key. If the spare key fixes the issue simply destroy the original. If this does not help then suspect faulty ignition lock cylinder (probably what your estimate was for).
