Try a different key if you have one......see if that helps.

The lock cylinder itself may have worn to the point that it's not going to work, and if that is the case, you can replace it. It's not terribly expensive. A little lubrication and jiggling the key may free it, but probably that is just a short temporary fix.

While trying to turn the key, turn the steering wheel HARD in one direction and then the other if that one didn't work. Sometimes they get stuck in a weird angle and you have to force it out.


Best of luck
