Car is in Park and was not used today. When I put the key in the ignition, the key could not turn. Multiple attempts made to turn key. Almost like it is frozen solid.

Same key always used.

Try jerking your steering wheel to the left as far as it will go then turn the key, sometimes it will get in a bind disabling the key from turning in the ingnition. You have to put a little pressure on the steering wheel when doing this, but don't try to jerk the wheel off.. If this doesn't help, make sure your key isn't bent or damaged in any way.
