Wiggle the steering wheel back and forth while trying to remove the key.
Jack the front of the car up so wheels are just off the ground, try wiggling again.
Spray some Teflon dry lube into the ignition/key. Try wiggling again.
Put crushed ice in a plastic bag, set it on the head of the key only! The cold may "shrink" the key. Try wiggling again.

If none of this works you may have to call in a pro, the mechanism may be damaged.
