MDX Ignition Cylinder Won't Turn

I have a 2001 MDX. The ignition cylinder won't turn past the lock position. I'm trying to replace just the cylinder, but can't get it to release & slide out. I need suggestions asap!
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried shimmying the steering wheel while trying to remove the key.

Yes. There's no problem with the key going in or out. I've had a new key cut & tried every trick to get it to turn. I'm trying to remove the cylinder but the release button won't depress because the key won't turn to the 1 or 2 position.

Ahh, apologies, when i read "slide out" I read it as you couldn't remove your key from the ignition completely.
