Are you pushing the key/barrel in as you try to turn it past ACC? I guess you are, as you've survived this far without the problem.

Otherwise likely to be the mechanical cable from the gearstick to the ignition barrel that prevents you taking the key out if the gearstick isn't in P. If it has become disconnected, its natural state is to not let you take the key out.
