It always helps when you give the year, make and model of your vehicle. The Lock Plate is the part that the lock pin engages to prevent the wheel from turning. I don't know how that would prevent the key from being removed. You didn't say the key won't go into the lock position that you need to be in to remove the key. Try some penetrating oil or graphite lock lube.

Maybe you could try the Psychic section so they'd know what 3 solutions you tried.
