The key would not turn in my 2000 Cadillac Deville. After several times at trying and turning the wheel left and right while turning key...it finally turned. What is the problem?

replyed in pm

"Sir,

Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. Yes, the wheel was locked at the time. But, it does do it frequently, more times than not. Just started doing it today."
