Ok, 2008 Acadia. AWD SLT2. I tried to turn the car on this morning and nothing happened. The key will not come out of the ignition, but it will move to positions 3 and 4 I think...not the back to where you can take it out. Also, there is a constant noise coming from under the hood and occassionally from the power locks I think...what is this and how do I get the key out?

SOURCE: the key won't turn in the ignition, car is locked up

Try cranking the steering wheel to the side really hard and at the same time turn the key.

Jump starting the battery may be all you need. If this vehicle was not in park when the battery went dead and when you got in to start it it was dead. You then probably put it into park trying to start it.
But the issue at this time is if it was in neutral when the battery went dead the you changing the selector to park may not actually have placed the transmission in park. With electronic gear selection it actually need power to the system to place the transmission in park.
Without it really being in park the key may move to the lock position.
A bit of quess work here but I hope for you I hit the mark.
