Ignition was sticking and getting hard to turn. Now it's completely locked. Cannot turn key at all. Emergency! I need my car for work. Please help me!

First thing to do is get another key made. If that doesn't work then the ignition switch will need replacing which should be performed by a mechanic or someone mechanically inclined. Try the key first, and good luck. :)
