the ignition will lock up in the lock position even moving the steering wheel back and forth doesn't easily help. I'm afraid i'll break the key off if i turn it too hard. Thus, i've been leaving the car turned off in the accessory position but this morning had a dead battery but i've been doing this for about a week.

try getting a new key made. sometimes a worn key will not allow you to unlock the cylinder. if that doesn't work, you'll need to replace the cylinder.
