Is your key all worn down?

Try pulling wheel back and forth hard while trying to turn the key. If that doesn't help, then you have a problem with the ignition lock and it will have to be replaced.

First, try a different key. Also, try lubericating the tumbler with something like WD40. Let me know if that helps.
