Make sure you're turning in the right direction then put gentle 
pressure on the key while you firmly turn the steerting wheel in one 
direction then the other. It is likely that the wheels are turned 
against the steering lock and this will pin the ignition lock in place 
until you take the prestress off the locking pin.
