Have you tried putting it into reverse with the engine shut off?

it has to be in reverse to get the key out but i havnt check to see if it catches. but i have had someone tell me that either the front or the rear trans mount may have gone bad wht do you guys think of that?

Possible, but unlikely. By the way there are three mounts on the engine/transmission. They all suck.
