Needs a new ignition lock. Must order from Volvo by VIN, so there are no security issues with different keys. There really isn't another real option, Im afraid.
To get it out of the garage, you can pop the shift cable off at the trans to get it in neutral.
1)Check to make sure its all the way in park, common volvo issue.
2) ignition lock cyl is super common too.
Good luck

some cars have a shifter bypass (not sure what its actually called) that you can use to get it into neutral without a key.
Try pulling the key out and turning it 180° then putting it back in. One side of key might be worn more than the other. I had an old ford that the key would only work one way in it even though it should have both ways. I think the tumblers in the lock were worn just enough for one side not to work.
If the shifter release button is stuck in a partially engaged position it will prevent the ignition from turning.
Some lube in the ignition lock cylinder may free it up temporarily, it Will fail soon thereafter, so proceed to dealer for $pendy replacement
Sticky shifter is more common on the older ones, and it generally stops you from removing the key.
Odd failures on the locks. Perfect, perfect, perfect, broken.
