The answers to your problem are very numerous.
Usually what has happened is that when the lock was installed the pins (the part of the lock that rides on the cut part of the key) were not facing down. This allows dirt and debris to collect in the pin holes and also if a spring breaks it won't push the pin up to the cut part of the key. Some locks you can't even rotate to a position that faces down.
What I suggest is removing the knob or lever lock from the door and blowing out the key hole with compressed air. Work the key back and forth through the lock and blow it out again. If this doesn't work ... try and get a refund or a replacement from wherever you got it. Remember your time is worth money and so is your frustration. Don't waste allot of time trying to fix something that can be replaced relatively cheaply.

Lower the back seat and crawl into the trunk and see what the latch is doing when you activate the key fob. the trunk lid will have to be open to enable any repairs. Also an emergency release cable is probably visible (yellow handle) inside the trunk and will Open the trunk lid.

04 expedition radio won't turn off after I take

Does it turn off when you open the driver side door? If so, that's normal. My car also keeps the radio on when the key is taken out of the ignition until I open the driver side door. If the driver side door is not opened then the radio will only stay on for 8 or 10 minutes though. If it's not turning off ever, even when you open the door, then I don't know what's wrong with it.
Cheers!

You don't say what kind of vehicle we are talking about, but it is safe to assume your ignition switch needs to be replaced.
