The problem could be the lock for the steering wheel. Move the steering either side while trying to turn the key.

How do you fix a key not turning the ignition?

It probably is not the key. It could be the battery or starter. Try lubricating it with powered graphite. If that does not work then the ignition tumbler assembly may need replacing. They do wear out over time. Of course you may be using the wrong key.

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.
