I assume you do not have a key release button on the steering column - right?
If that is the case then your key switch is starting to fail.
Wiggle the steering wheel a bit. That may allow the locking pin to seat in the holes and let the key turn, but you should get ready for a trip to the locksmith.

Its the ignition switch.
There is another way of shutting it off, but you will have to wire a toggle switch into the ignition wiring.

You need a new ignition switch. Take the car to your dealer.
