I just saw your newer post..or the original post with more information available.
Your K1500 has the ignition switch positioned on the steering column. The switch is control via a linkage rod that is actuated from the key cylinder.(which may have failed.) But I suspect your problems may be in the switch itself.
See the procedure here at Just Answer Chevy to remove and install a new switch:
Fix Your Chevy With Your Own Hand
PS: After removing the actuator rod see if the lock cylinder rotates freely...if it does the switch is the source of your problem.
SOURCE: no power to ignition 96 camero dl
Check the wires to the distributer or to the modules could be poor or no conection. If you can turn the car over but no spark it's probably something to do with ignition, distributer, module, or wiring to the ignition.
SOURCE: 2007 HHR gear shifter button engaged and stuck in park
I had the same problem and once I wiggled the shifter enough to get it out of park then the key stuck in the ignition started.
SOURCE: key is stuck in the ignition and won't come out
It really sounds per your description that the shift link is not adjusted properly.
Raise the vehicle, leave the transmission in park, loosen the linkage nut at the transmission and the link should move and relax. Retighten the nut and you should be good to go. Start there and see how it goes and we can go from there if needed.

SOURCE: can't remove key from ignition. battery is dead
If the battery is dead, the ignition keys will not release from the ignition. If there is no signal from the transmission shifter that it's in park since the battery is dead, then the ignition lock will not release the keys. After charging the battery or jumping the blazer to start it and the key's still will not release, try this.
There is a "plunger" as part if the ignition. Under the steering wheel there is a small removable cap that you can take off and put a small screw driver up into and press the plunger in and it will release the key. Good luck and hope this helps, Keep me posted be glad to help.
SOURCE: key is stuck in the ignition
There is a switch that is supposed to release so you can pull the key out. Obviously something has caused the release mechanism not to function.Some vehicles have a manual release. See if here is a small square cover somewhere near the ignition switch either above it or below it (may be near shifter). If there is one take something and remover the cover like a small screwdriver. Then take a small enough object to insert into the hole under the cover and then try to pull out the key. If that's not an option, you could remove the ignition fuse to disable the vehicle for the night. Get your owners manual and open it to the index. Look for the fuses section. In that section it will tell you what different fuses do and where they are located on you vehicle. Just take out the fuse that says "Ignition" and remember where you took it out of. Then try to start the car. If it won't start at least no one can steal it . If you can't find the ignition fuse look for one that says "power" and try that one
