Default Ignition cyl stuck

Ok.. I'm stuck at the mobil station and the dumb key won't turn. It was hard to turn off when I stopped. So aside from a new cylinder do any of you know a way to repair it? I already tried my spare keys.. no go. Btw, the forum app for the I phone is a great way to pas time waiting for the tow truck.

Mine does that sometimes. If I try turning the key while turning the steering wheel, it usually fixes it.

I don't think its the steering lock. I hope it's the tumblers and some graphite will fix it. Thanks for the idea tho.
