Did you get them from a dealer? My 2001 can only use replacement keys from a dealer. Read on:
If your Honda is equipped with an Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System, your keys contain a transmitter in the key head, which signals a control unit to activate the ignition system. Without this signal, your car will not start.
At the time of this writing, your Honda dealer may still be the best (or only) source of replacement Immobilizer key blanks.
Regardless of where you purchase replacement Immobilizer key blanks, you must bring an original key for use when programming the replacement key.
If no original keys are available for programming purposes, you must replace the Immobilizer control unit (for Prelude models only).
How does this Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System work?
The Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System protects your vehicle from theft. A properly coded ignition key must be used in the ignition switch for the engine to start. If an improperly coded key (or other device) is used, the engine's starting circuit is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the Immobilizer Theft-Deterrent System indicator light should come on for a few seconds, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (O), remove the key, re-insert it and turn the switch to ON (II) again.
This indicator will also blink several times when you turn the ignition switch from ON (II) to ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (O).
The system may not recognize your key's coding if the key is in contact with a key from another immobilizer system. If you have a key from another vehicle's immobilizer system, keep it separate.
If the system repeatedly does not recognize the coding of your key, contact your Honda dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Electrical problems could result that may make your vehicle inoperable.

where did you get this key cut at?? 98 and newer has a transponder on the accord that requires programming . the original key looks like a regular key , but in fact it is not . make sure that you actually have a honda key.

Spray with WD-40 and move the wheel back and forth. Move the key up and down, has burrs on it.

jiggle it back and forth keep doing that. The key will just keep getting looser and finally will come out.
