Start with the shifter. It has to go back to park before you can get the key out. You should still be able to shut off the engine.

Ahhhhh, the old Column problem....had the same, couldn't turn off the truck because my column shifter wouldn't go back far enough on the column for the ignition cyclinder to rotate back, now I have to keep my eye on it when I'm getting ready to leave the truck, PITA !!!!!
