Since nobody has answered, I'll give it a shot. I had a C900 with a steering wheel interlock, and I had to get it towed one day because the key wouldn't turn. The lock cylinder had to be replaced. Since you have a reverse interlock, meaning that the transmission cannot be shifted out of reverse until the key is turned, I suspect the the shifting issue is merely related to the lock cylinder issue. If you're lucky, it might just be a piece of debris that got down into the lock, preventing the key from working. I'd first try some spray lubricant into the lock cylinder(not WD-40), to see if you can dislodge something. If this doesn't work, you'll probably have to pull the lock cylinder and get it repaired or replaced.
