Why is it stuck? Is the key bent? If liquid wrench and some muscle will not get it out, you might want to call a Locksmith.

Also make sure the car is all the way in park and the button on the handle is out.

Try turning the steering wheel when removing it. Sometimes when the wheel locks it jams the key in, it's happened to me a few times.
