    Did you try pushing in the little button as said in chat box? And you're sure the knob is seated all the way down? Can you feel resistance when you squeeze the button on the knob? Seems like the neutral safety switch to me.

    is the battery charged back up?

    you could have pulled a plug from the shiftier, or a wire just broke when you were in there, the 2 solenoids work together, the one in the shiftier and the column.

    You can shift all you want with a dead battery. But the keys won't come out of the ignition.

    my regal's shiftier was locked with a dead battery. and the key was stuck forward as well. once you get power to the car, enough to make the dome lights come on the key will turn back.

    if you have another car and jumper cables, but cant get the cables to the car type deal, take the battery out of the other car take it to your car run the cables from the good battery to your battery, 15 to 20 minutes later your car should crank.

    if you want your key back, pop the plastic cap off under the key, and use a pen or stick to push the release up, and the key will turn back.
