2004 Chevy Aveo - Key Won't Come Out

My daughter's 2004 Chevrolet Aveo is now experiencing a new problem. Several weeks ago I put $1000 into it to fix the front wheel assembly. Now, it is having a new problem. When she turns the car off, the key will not come out of the slot. I was able to search the internet and deduce that it may be a solenoid or something like that, but I am hoping you guys, who have been SO helpful to me in the past, can offer some more advice.
When we jiggle the gearshift around, you can hear something inside the steering column clicking. After several attempts, we can get the key out. Pressing that little button just above the gear shift also helps a bit. Now, the gear shift is INCREDIBLY difficult to move out of park. Also, she said that sometimes it is difficult to move from drive to reverse.
I am hoping that both issues are related, but usually my luck doesn't run that way. I would REALLY appreciate it if you guys could come through for me as you have so many times before.
Any suggestions that you can offer will be GREATLY appreciated.
Steven
