I returned from the grocery store and my key couldn't switch off the ignition or be withdrawn. The car was running while I did some research and tried out the plunger release that worked for others. I discovered that the plunger to release the lock is working properly, so it must be the ignition lock itself that is defective. I found the fuse block and located the fuel pump fuse and pulled it to stall the engine. The ignition is still on, but since it's 9pm, I'll have to wait until tomorrow before I can get it checked.
