I have the exact same issue with my 2002 Tahoe. Parked it in the driveway, came the next morning and could not turn the key. The steering wheel was not locked up, but I could not turn the ignition key. Tried jiggling the key while turning the steering wheel and shift lever. Checked all fuses, disconnected battery to see if it would reset something. I tried everything I could think of without success. Finally, I figured some sort of locking pin is not engaging properly and I took the butt end of my screwdriver and tapped about 10 times on the ingition switch right where you would put the key in. It was a nice solid tap, not banging it. Sure enouth, I put the key in and it turned right over. Hope this works for you!
