Key will not turn
My key will not turn sometimes when I put it.... I jiggle the key, move the steering wheel back and forth killed it up and down not sure what it is that makes it finally turned but eventually it does any tips on what the problem is?

Is the key rather worn down? How does it perform on other locks? If it works fine on other locks, it could still be down to wear as I never use my key in my locks so the locks themselves will have little wear, the ignition lock however has thousands of uses.

I had the same problem and had to get a new ignition cylinder. I color code the keys now so it is easier to find which key goes to the ignition.
