No doubt you're not stuck any longer and I hope you were able to figure out a solution when you needed it.
Under the steering column, ''''you'll see there is a squarish rubber/plastic cover, and if you pry that off (it's not hard) you'll get access to the internal workings of the steering wheel.
There is a small square button that you can feel around for (I had to use a good light and some contortionist skills to physically look for it the first couple of times it happened) and once you find it- press and hold while you turn your key. It will release the key with or without power (i.e. battery dead or theft deterrent activated). You can also leave the key in and turn it as long as the button is pressed.
I have not encountered any counter or negative effects as a result of using this mechanism. It's what it's there for.

Some questions to ask. Does this key have a rifd chip requiring 'marrying' it to the vehicle antitheft system? If yes and performed correctly, is the security indicator off after turning on ignition with all instrument panel lights cycling on then off (leaving seat belt, battery, oil and brake indicators on)? If the security indicator is off, is the car battery fully charged? Lights and radio do not tell anyone a battery is good since a starter draws the most current from a battery. Tried a boost from another car battery, jump pack? Are battery cables clean and free of corrosion, tightly secured to battery posts?
