I really don't think it is the transmission locking up your ignition key. Next time it "locks up" try turning the wheel side to side as you turn the key. I know the wheel is locked but there is a little play there.
My car also has a little slop in Park but I never let it happen. I ALWAYS USE MY PARKING BRAKE!!! Even if I'm parked on a level surface. Just a froce of habit. If you continue to park on a slight or heavy slope and just put it in park over time you will do damage to your tranny.
