Turn the key back towards you while rocking the steering wheel back and forth.

ok well.. i think i totally screwed my car.. but yes, i did turn it too far. like, when you turn the key it clicks 2 times and then if you turn it more it starts cranking the motor. well the motor was cranking.. and then the key turned FURTHER than that point, and it was stuck there for a while... i got the key out, but now when i put the key in it turns freely.. so i think my ignition cylinder thing is totally screwed up.
