Check these tips out at https://www.2carpros.com/first_things/why_wont_my_ignition_switch_turn.htm

If your steering column has a small access panel on the bottom, pop it off. Locate "plunger" (button, etc.) just inside the hole and slightly to the left.

If there is not a small removeable plastic piece, remove the housing around the steering wheel (this may require removing a few screws), and look for a white button directly under the steering wheel.

Hold it down and the key will turn with ease.
