Default Cavalier I love you, but problems.

SO I have a 2002 Cav, it's a 5 speed manual tranmission. I've had a number of small issues, I love this car. It's my first one and its a beast. But I'm having a serious issue.

Issue : My key is stuck in the ignition and wont come out, It's stuck past the turning on accessories part. All i can do is turn the car on, I'm also facing the problem that nothing on my speedometer works. No rpms, heat, speed, nothing. I cannot take the key out for some reason. Please help.

Your best bet is to take it to a locksmith who specializes in automotive locks.

New issue just to add on top.
My anti theft turned on after unplugging the battery for the day due to my car just draining it. So now i cannot even start the car. I'm poor as hell and a college student. Anyone that can help me?

It sounds like you damaged the Passlock sensor (forcing the lock cylinder can do that). I don't know if you could've avoided that if you'd called a locksmith like oldchevy recommended but that's life. Either call an automotive locksmith or repair shop.
