The lock cylinder might be jammed. There should be a retaining pin underneath the steering column (small hole). Insert an ice pick or very small screwdriver in this hole. Insert the ignition key and turn ignition to on position and then press in on the screwdriver. Twist the lock and pull away from the steering column.
