Default Key Stuck in Ignition, Car stuck in Park

Here is my current situation. I have a 1996 E320 with roughly 128,000 miles on it. My key is stuck in the ignition, car will start (no problem) but is stuck in PARK. She will not shift out of park at all.'

I switched out the brake relay switch after reading a bit more on possible problems. I also have the current error codes:

P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temperature for Closed Loop Fuel Control
P0196 Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Range/Performance
P0234 Engine Overboost Condition
P0299 Turbo Under Boost
P0357 Ignition Coil G Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction
P0443 Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve CircuitMalfunction
P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak)
P0736 Reverse incorrect gear ratio
P1143 couldn't really find a Mercedes Benz one....P1143 Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 Lean Shift Monitoring Bank 1???
U0001
U0101
U0106

Looking at these codes, I'm guessing the problem lies in P0357. Any ideas on what I need to do?

Thanks!

did anybody get a fix for this as it has happened to me on my 2001 auto ml270.
My husband was driving the car, pulled into a parking bay and think he tried to take the key out too quickly before park was engaged peoperly. (this has never happened to me The key was stuck for ages. He eventually pulled it free but now the ignition wont turn at all. Had to have it recovered. managed to use the emergency release to get it into neutral to get onto the recovery truck. The wing mirrors went in on their own lights went off and on on their own and central locking intermittent. It all seems rather strange. any ideas????
Thanks
