Hello,

It sounds like to me that the tumbler in the ignition switch has worn out. You should if you go at it jiggling the key and making sure the steering wheel doesn't have any tension on it at least get the key out. Your probably looking at changing the whole ignition switch or at least the tumbler and key.
