If it´s an early steering column lock you have a pin holding the cylinder in place.
Has to be drilled out.

If the lock cylinder came out with ease you're half way home. If you can't get the key out of the cylinder.. is the key in place, but the knob broken off'

Key not broke off, just will not come out. Did not release any pins to get clylinder out

Try rotating it to the locked position. It may be oriented in the wrong position.

You don't say which year car but when mine was stuck, I lube it and had someone wiggle the wheel, while I moved the key. Once out I had a new key made by 32Phil, he cuts them from the keycode. I got my code from the door lock.
