If the lock barrel turns, then it's in as far as it needs to go. Otherwise, if the lock barrel doesn't turn, then it's faulty and needs to be replaced. This can unfortunately, sometimes entail replacing the entire Steering Lock Assembly.

Ford focus 2001 I bang my key in the ignition to turn it Should I replace it If I replace key ignition cylinder it needs to be reconfigure with original auto key Can I do this or the dealership?

I would have the ignition itself replaced. These go out all the time and will leave you stranded. Get a new ignition keyed to your current key and you won't have to do programming. A locksmith can do this for you. Do it soon though before it stops turning.
