The first ignition key was installed in the 1910 Cadillac. On this car you turned the key and then pushed another button to start the engine. In 1949 Chrysler introduced the ignition key combination as we know it today.

Place the key in the ignition and grab the steering wheel with one hand. Apply steady force in one direction to try to turn the wheel and as you do so, turn the ignition key. The steering wheel will simultaneously unlock as the ignition key turns allowing you to start the car. This is an antitheft device and is common on most cars.
