I had this happen before and I moved the steering wheel back and forth a bit and also moved the gear selector to make sure it was actually in park. Not sure which of the two things worked (probably moving the wheel) but I was able to turn off my car and remove the key.

Try locating the ignition fuse in the fuse box and removing that. Should at least shut the car off.

Have you tried shutting it off in neutral?

Is it a floor shifter or a column shift?

Heres some suggestions I found..
