I believe the key has a chip in it. Sometime you can insert key and let it sit for a while and it will re-program . . if not, you may have to take the key to the dealer for re-programing.

Can find where to put more fluid for the power steering on my Mercedes 1997 e320
May require a new ignition barrel. The 106 is known for problems with the ignition barrel. Looking at a bill of �60 - �200 depending on where you go and the type of immobilizer used on the car.
Try jiggling the steering wheel while turning the key. Sometimes if the wheels are slights turned when you shut it off the steering wheel is pressed against the ignition switch inside the column. If that doesn't do it you probably will need a new key.
You might try to jiggle the steering wheel a little, press the brakes while you try to start, and make sure your car is in park.

The ignition switch is located inside the steering coulum below the key and tumbler.
