Default RE: Need help, key stuck in ignition!

I guess I'm not saying this the way I intend to.
Don't have her try to start the car. Have her try the things I suggested to get the car back into park - without turning the key to the "start" position.
Have her turn the key to the "on" position and have her try to shift it back into Park with the e-brake off and her foot on the brake.
If that doesn't work, leave the key in the "on" position and have someone rock the car with her foot off of the brake and the e-brake off and see if it will shift back into park when the tension is off of the drive gears.
Also, make sure she has any "shifter buttons" pressed on the stick when trying to move it (some vehicles have a "button" on the shift handle that has to be depressed/squeezed to get the stick to engage the gear).
