When you turned off the engine the last time you used it, you probably had the wheel turned and locked the steering wheel. Try turning the wheel the same time you turn the key. It should unlock itself from there. You maty need to put some effort into turning the steering wheel when you do this.

Could be a number of things.
1. The steering column is locked
2. The ignition switch is jammed
3. You're using the wrong key

Try holding the steering wheel to the left or right and then turn key. Steering wheel lock might have locked on you.

If you have a newer car, it may be that the ignition won't turn because your car isn't in park when you're trying to start the car.

I had that problem once I put stater plugs and wires, Router, and distributor cap and it still did not turn. It turned out to be the ignition coil.

I don't know. Why don't you force it and tell us how hard you had to turn it to break the key off the lock.

you need a new key switch it shouldn't cost much.
unless your skilled enough to take it apart and re-align thepins.
but that would be time consumiong and amy not work right either.
