Steering problem
2002 Peugeot 206 Four Wheel Drive Manual 76,000 miles

I am a fairly new driver, in fact i only passed a couple of weeks ago, i got in my car the other day and my key wouldnt turn, not even the slightest, I took it out and the put it back in a number of times and it still wouldnt turn. then i gave it a considerable amount of force and the then it turnt. my Boy friend said that it was to do with my steering lock, but i was totally obliviuos to it at the time. Will it damage anything, like i said i have only done it the once, but i get really paranoid and just need to put my mind at ease. do you have any advice you can give me or an answer to my question please

squirt a little WD40 into the lock mechanism to keep it lubricated .. it will not have damaged anything !
