Default car won't start and key will not come out of switch

Gentlemen - Have a 05 Limited Coupe and another electrical problem. Yesterday the car started and ran fine. Washed the care and opened the doors to check that water was draining OK from door bottom. Took a small stiff wire and poked the drain holes to be sure. When doing the drivers door, the alarm went off. Finally got that stopped. but the lights were flashing. Started the car to pull it back into the garage. Everything still OK. Today. I backed it outside to apply tire dressing. Went to pull it back in and it won't start and the ignition key will not come out of the ignition switch. The key turns to the start position, but nothing happens. When turning it back to remove it, it turns back to that position but will not come out of the switch.

Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. I've search, as best as I could, on the forum but can't find a similar problem. Plenty about sticky switch's but not like I have. I'm suspecting it's something to do with the alarm system since that went off yesterday.

Again, any ideas or possible solutions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim
