key wouldn't turn in ignition. I tried the second set of key that came with the car and it worked. While I'm grateful it worked, I was wondering if I should still have the ignition checked?

you could if you like but I'd think it sounds like it's just the key if it happens again then have it checked. Also see if you can turn the steering wheel a little bit to see if it helps, also check out this guide.
