Key stuck at ACC position

2006 Saturn Ion, automatic transmission. When I turn off the ignition the engine will die but the key will not turn past the "ACC" position. Sometimes I can turn the wheel left and right, return it to the center position and it will allow me to turn it to the "OFF" position. Sometimes I have to turn the key back to the "ON" position, shift from park to reverse and back to park and it will turn to the "OFF" position. Sometimes pushing the gear shift button repeatedly will allow it to turn to the "OFF" position.
