    I removed the seats in my 2004 sebring and when I put them back in my
    key is now stuck in the ignition, how do I remove it?

    Take a small heavy object and tap the key in as you are turning it and it
    will turn, they make an appointment to see the dealer to have them replace
    and recode the lock cylinder.

    Try moving the steering wheel to alleviate any load put on it by the
    wheel positions. My truck needs this often depending on how it got parked!

    I can't see how the seats have any connection to the ignition switch,
    but have you turned the steering wheel to ensure that it isn't bound
    against the lock? Sometimes this will happen and will prevent you from
    turning the ignition to the position that will allow the key to be
    removed. Taking pressure off of the lock by turning the steering wheel
    one way or the other might help. If the ignition switch is in the
    position to allow key removal, then you'll likely need the help of a
    locksmith or good mechanic.

    If you somehow knocked the adjustment loose on the shifter interlock cable
    this would also cause the key to not return to the lock position, and the
    key will not turn back
