Try this first!!!!... Remove everything from key, with key in lock, hit it squarely on the end a couple of sharp blows with a rubber mallet, now try to turn key... May take a few attempts but sometimes it will work!!!... IF this doesn't unlock the ignition, reply back here for further instructions... The next step isn't as easy!

The ignition lock cylinder will need to be replaced.. This is not a DIY repair.. Contact locksmith!.. Good auto repair shop can do it as well... IF this is not done correctly, the security system is going to activate and engine will not run!!!
