I tried pressing on it and then turning the key, pressing down on it while turning the key, and turning the key and then pressing down on it. I tried pressing up to return it to being centered on the neck, and it will not move in that direction. I am thinking of hitting it with a wood block.
First I'd try getting ahold of a locksmith, particularly someone that's been around a while. Then if all else fails, I'd put a pipe wrench to it, of course if all else fails. good luck.
