Key will not turn in ignition. Started car with remote start, and then went to turn key so that I could leave and the key won't turn. Steering wheel is not in a locked position. Car turned off after 10 minutes (from remote start) and tried to turn key again, and still no movement.

Try pulling the steering wheel back and forth while trying to turn the key. If that does not work, then there is a problem with the key and tumblers and the lock will have to be changed.
