Take your cover off to where I see the ignition naked and there will be a little hole turn off and poke something in that hole and while pushing turn your key forward or backwards not sure on jeep and u should be able to take switch out and it might help u see why it's stuck

Again as I told the other Cherokee owner as these are similar in way to a Durango may be your tumbler going bad luckily I got my key out by turning the wheel to the right just right
