Do you have more than one key, and is the ignition difficult to turn with both keys?

Wiggle the steering wheel a bit while you are turning the key. Sometimes the steering column lock interferes with the ignition switch.

Do you have lots of keys and things on your key ring? That extra weight can help wear the lock.
