Somtimes the wheels are turned a little bit putting pressure on the steering wheel lock. Try to pull on the wheel to the left or right a little to ease on the pressure on the lock while turning the key.

IF that doesn't work, try using a different key.

IF it is still a problem, it may be internal on the ignition cylinder.
