Car troubles

So today we drive down to the studio and Meredith goes to turn off the car and pulls the key out and usually when you pull the key out the radio turns off well today it didn't so she tried to put the key back in the ignition and the key would not go in. we tried wiggling pressing the break turning the wheel and all sorts of things to get it back in but it wouldn't go so we had to call road side assistance(RSA) and they asked me to try a few things and they didn't work. So they sent a tow truck well the RSA told the tow people to send a flat bed truck, the drive is about 45 minutes between us and Eau Claire where the truck came from, and the guy got to the studio and asked us if we could get the car into neutral and we said we couldn't and he fiddled around with the car for a bit then called the dealership and asked if there was anything that he could do so he didn't have to drive back to Eau Claire without a car. They came to the conclusion that there was nothing they could do so he had to drive back to Eau Claire get a different type of truck and drive all the way back again. Finally he took the car later in the afternoon Meredith got a call from the dealership saying the car won't be ready till the 14th so we are car less for the next 11 days I’m going to call and find out if we can get a loaner car because I have to meet with the recruiter at least one more time if not two before I leave for basic.
