1995 Grandam Remove Trunk Lock Key Cylinder

Key is stuck in truck lock key cylinder. (turns to open trunk, but won't turn back to release key)  How can I remove the entire cylinder?  Or of course get the key back out. Trunk opens fine with the key in there, or using cable release from drivers side.

Spray some WD-40 in the lock cylinder. That may get it to work correctly again. If that fails, you should be able to remove the cylinder without too much trouble. It is held in place with a metal clip and there is a rod attached to the cylinder. 

Here's what your lock cylinder setup looks like:
