the tumbler is where you put the key in for the ignition. You are lucky the problem didn't happen while you were driving th car, went to shut it off and couldn't get the key out. That is normally the case.
But this is a common issue and I am not sure, but someone will know and post in the next 24 hours if this is a TSB and will be covered under warranty. Is your car still under warranty?An no, a 2001 is not.
This is probably going to require a trip to the dealer.
Best advice I can give is try to loosen the lock the steering wheel is in while someone tries the key. But if it does work, i would still change the tumbler or your going to get stuck again.
