Put key in and bang on it with a rubber mallet or something while turning wheel back and forth.
Will the key turn in the cylinder? i f yes the lock rod inside the door has come off.
I had this on an XC70 recently. (The key would turn to get the dashboard lights on, but that was it). The lock was broken and needed to be replaced. But the AA man did manage to force the key to work and this enabled me to use car for a few days awaiting the lock with the same code as before.
is it a ford? push the key in further and then turn it
im having the same problem with my 1983 fifth avenue. i figured out so far that i think its the ignition switch or the lock cylinder does the lights come on on the dash when you turn the key over
key wont turnthe ignition
You're either using the wrong key - or the lock is faulty.
this is caused by ignition lock cylinder failure, you will have to replace the ignition lock cylinder and key.
car lock freez up
Older Chevy's have a steering lock when the key isn't in the ignition.
try turning the steering wheel to the left or right and holding it there while turning the key
Try turning the steering wheel whilst turning the key, most peugeots have a built in steering lock.

Make sure the latch is open and did not get closed accidently (put the key in lock and turn it to the unlock position and see if lock assembly opens)
Most likely your steering lock is engaged. If you try to move the wheel right to left (or vice versa) while trying to turn the key it will work and turn. Sincerely, Bora
Been there. Grab the stering wheel with your left hand and yank it sharply to the left. That should unlock it, so you can turn the key. Once you have to do this, it is likely you will have to do it occasionally.
I also have a 98 tacoma and my key wont turn the door lock I took it to the dealership an they ordered me a new cylinder and they are going to rekey it for me thats what im doing. Your cylinder or plastic on the back of the cylinder could of broke
try turning your wheel a little bit(it should turn one way a little bit then stop try moving it back and forth) while you try to turn the key
