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.
