Either something is wrong with the key or there is something wrong with the switch. You can try to spray some WD-40 or something like it into the switch and wiggle the key to see if you can get it turning. Otherwise you may have to replace the ignition switch.

How do you turn off the security light on an Oldsmobile alero?

I've had this problem where I couldn't start my car and it turns out it was because the security light was on. To fix it: Place the key in the ignition and turn it one rotation (so battery is on) then leave it in the ignition for 10 minutes. Restart car and security light will be off.... also car will start!
