Default 1996 jeep cherokee wont crank

Hi, my jeep Cherokee will not crank or start, also the key isn't going in the ignition very easily. I've tried all the different gears and all that but I cant get it to crank at all. Any suggestions on what it could be?
Thanks, Mason

If it was ur starter ur belt wouldn't turn see if the belt moves before u determine if ut starter. Most likely its ur Nss because u said it wouldn't start in any gear? Correct?

Well I can't get the key in all the way to check if the belt turns. But it's a 5 speed so no nss.
