It makes absolutely no sense at all that a sword could or would get or be set stuck in a stone. What does make sense on the other hand, is that an Ankh-type tool as described in this hypothesis could be set to be stuck firmly to the surface of a large stone and without the prior knowledge that it could only be detached by turning, rather than pulling, nobody would be able to remove it.

Once detached, depending upon its state of 'priming', it would make a very fine "sword" indeed.

 

Maybe Merlin had a word in somebody's ear...
