Welcome to the forum. :)
Have you tried a different key? Try pulling it out a hair and turning it. Try pushing it in firmly and see if it will turn.
The lock cylinders are not very expensive and fairly easy to install. I do believe you must be able to turn it to the on position tho. The down side is now the door key and the ignition key do not match.
Good luck and let us know. :?:

Suggested Repair
Try a different key, and also try pulling the key out slightly or pushing it in firmly while turning. If that fails, a replacement lock cylinder is inexpensive and fairly easy to install, but the key must turn to the on position to remove the old cylinder. A new cylinder may not match the door key.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria says the ignition key will not turn even after rocking the steering wheel. An expert suggested trying another key, pulling the key out slightly or pushing it in firmly while turning, and replacing the lock cylinder if needed, noting the key must turn to on for removal and the new cylinder may not match the door key. Another reply only asked that the post be moved to the correct forum.
