I had the same problem. I finally figured out how to unlock it. When you put vehicle in park, without pushing the button, pull on shifter until it clicks. Now I don't have the problem anymore. Hope this helps.

Key won't turn in 2000 kia sportage

I assume that you are writing about an ignition lock. Firstly check that you've got the right key. Secondly try turning the steering wheel slightly as you turn the key. If that doesn't work it's likely that the lock is shot. Get it checked by a Kia dealer.

I have a 2000 kia sportage and the steering wheel wont budge and the key wont turn. I called kia and they told me to yank the wheel to the right and turn the key at the same time.....nothing. the car is...

well hate to be the bearer of bad news but that is exactly what needs to be done. try turning the key and forcefully moving steering wheel from side to side. if needed get someone to help you moving the wheel but you must be turninf the key at the same time in order to unlock. this is common and happens when you turn the wheel while key is in the off posoition or out of ignition, perhaps grabbing on steering wheel while entering or exiting vehicle. good luck.
