Can't turn key or get out of reverse

Hey there,
Having a problem out of the blue in my 95 Saab 900:
I can't turn the key in the ignition, and I can't shift it out of reverse either. The problem started out as just the ignition not working; then after shifting around a bit trying to get it started, now it's stuck in reverse with the locking mechanism stuck in the "pressed in" position.
I just got the clutch replaced this summer, so I would be surprised if that's already the issue again...
Also, the ignition doesn't seem to be "gripping" the key as it normally does - the key just slides in and out without making much contact with whatever it is inside the keyhole.
Not sure if the key won't turn because the shifter button is depressed, or if it won't depress because of something funky in the ignition going on.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be going on?
