It sounds like you have a dead battery. have it tested.

There's a TSB published by ford for this condition. It's caused by a binding shifter button.

FORD: 2006-2007 Fusion LINCOLN: 2006 Zephyr MERCURY: 2006-2007 Milan
This article supersedes TSB 07-2-1 to update the Part List. ISSUE: Some 2006-2007 Fusion, Milan and 2006 Zephyr vehicles built before 9/4/2006 may exhibit a customer concern of the ignition key getting trapped or a shifter slider binding condition. Most of the key trapped conditions are caused due to a binding shifter button which does not allow the pawl to contact the park detect switch.
ACTION: Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE If the key will not release from the ignition cylinder lock follow the Key Trapped procedure. On vehicles with a hard-to-shift shift lever into park or slider bunching/binding then follow the Shifter Slider Binding procedure. Key Trapped:

1. Actuate knob button 5-10 times, observe for binding or sticky condition.
2. Replace knob assembly if the knob sticks following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-05. NOTE: WHEN REPLACING THE SHIFT KNOB DO NOT REUSE THE SCREWS. REMOVE AND DISCARD THE SCREWS. INSTALL TWO NEW SCREWS AND TIGHTEN TO 18 LB-IN (2 N-m). DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
   

Shifter Slider Binding:

1. If shifter slider is bunched up or binding, replace bezel assembly following WSM, Section 307-05. NOTE: WHEN REPLACING THE BEZEL, CARE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK OVERRIDE TAB IS PROPERLY ALIGNED INTO ITS GUIDE. REFER TO FIGURE 1.

Either the ignition cyllinder is locked up, or your gear shifter isn't set. Play with the shifter button on your shifter and try to remove the button. Should be a plastic cap. That cap gets jammed sometimes, and this prevents you from removing your key.

the trick is in the shifter. There is a plastic piece called a bezel that fits around the button on the shifter. That piece is pushed in to far (probably has a broke tab) pull it out just a little bit and you will hear a click in the steering column. your key will now come out. BUT you will either have to reaplace the shifter ($200) or at least the knob ($40). hope this helps

Hello,
This is a common problem apparently. It seems like there is a plastic ring in the ignition switch that breaks off. I am not sure if your car is still under warranty, but here is a link to let you know more about the problem. Chances are your dealer has seen this before. They will have to replace the ignition it appears. I hope for your sake it is under warranty. God bless! Let me know how it goes:

not sure some Ford u have to push in a button to remove the key . Check and see if the model has that.

i read other forums and found out if you remove the ring around the shifter button it releases the key. sometimes this gets stuck and the car thinks it is still in gear so it will not allow the key to release. this worked when it happen to me!

i shared the same problem - the key stuck in the ignition.

solution: there is a black 3/4" ring below the grey shifter handle that looks like three rings in one. if this piece is down the shifter post and not up agains shifter handle, the key will not release. Push ring up towards the handle until you hear a click (you might have to twist it a bit to get it up the post). once it's in place, the key will release. good luck.
