Usually two things happen. The key is worn out or the lock up is normal because of pressure on the locking system as you turn the key off. Try turning the wheel a half a turn to the right or left when you are parked then turn the car off and remove the key. If its the locking mechanism then this will fix that. If its the key then replace it.
