Volvo 850 Estate Auto 1996. The glove box door is closed and locked. I cannot get the key into the lock. By shining a torch into the lock, it appears that the keyhole slot in the disk on the front of the glove box door has rotated by 90 degrees to the inner lock barrel slot, and I cannot rotate it back again. The outer disk slot is horizontal, but the inner lock barrel looks like it is vertical.
Help!

 

Check the DIY sticky. I think there is a glovebox thread in it.

 

I'm new to the jargon of these forums. What is a DIY Sticky and where do I find one? In plain English, please!

 

Here is some info:
