Sounds like a glitch. Have you gotten the quest update for that part of the quest?

From the UESP:
If you are unable to equip the Arrow of Extrication and text appears saying you cannot fire this quest arrow, hot key the Arrow of Extrication and try equipping it through the hot key. If this does not work try equipping various other arrows and then try again and it should work. However, if the text "cannot fire quest arrow" or "cannot equip quest item" is still appearing, there's one last thing you can try: Walk your character to the keyhole pillar itself, and when prompted, activate it. Nothing will happen, but, once you've done this, when you return to the pressure point where you are meant to fire the arrow from, and try equipping it, it will work now that you've "activated" the pillar. Finally, make sure you are centered on the pressure plate, as you cannot equip the arrow unless you are directly on top of the plate.
