Audi A6 2007 3.2/Quattro will not start , no issue with battery or alternator. Key will not release out of ignition switch , but car can be started with a quick jump. Help

Seems there is an issue with the battery since your car will start when jumped.  
Could simply be the connection at the battery is corroded/dirty.
