2005 Saturn Ion. Often, when shifting into Park with my foot on the brake, I turn the engine off and the key will not rotate to allow removal from the switch. Reapplying the brake and moving the shifter from Park to D and back usually releases the key. Is there a switch somewhere in the shifter that controls this?

Yes there is. Might need adjustment, might need replacement.
