Did you try turning the steering wheel from side to side to release the ignition? Sometimes that will work.

If it happens again, try taking the key out and flipping it the other way around and putting it back in. Sometimes my Tacoma does that, and if I flip the key the other way, it works.

The keys work in both directions, but sometimes one side will get a bit worn down and the other side works better at putting the locking mechanisms inside the ignition to their exact right positions.

yea...this used to happen on my last car and it was because the key was bent ever so slightly (not really noticeable unless you looked down the key at eye level). it would very easily turn when inserted one way, but not the other.
