Okay So the key still won't turn it appears the locking pin is flat but i couldn't get the key to turn to position 1. I removed the whole assembly and and unplugged the power source and even pushed in the medal locking thingy that goes towards the steering wheel (The steering wheel will now turn) but again can't get the key to position 1. Advice?

EDIT: Nvm once we got the spring out we could turn the key and she's running again i thought the instructions where to turn the key first so i could take it out but oh well it worked. thanks again guys and onehundred80 i think you did the write up you saved me a fortune can't thank you guys enough!
