When I put the key into the ignition switch, and I try to turn the key, nothing happens. It will not turn on. It's like it is locked.

You mean you can't turn the key? Or you turn the key and the engine does nothing?

I can not turn the key. The steering wheel is locked. I tried giggling the key in the ignition and turning the wheel slightly, but nothing happens. The key will not turn.

Have you tried a different key? I have seen them wear out. Also, have you tried to lube the tumbler (where the key goes)? They make a special grease just for tumblers.

I tried that too. I ended up calling AAA and they have a lock service, so my car is in their shop right now. Thanks for your help.
