Try turning the wheel while you turn the key.

Grab the steering wheel and pull all the way to the left and turn your key at the same time. When the steering wheel is locked on most MB's it won't allow you to turn the key. Not sure why your alarm is going on and off.

Hi Joey, I've never heard of that happening before. It must have something to do with the steering wheel lock mechanism, which is mechanical. Did you buy the vehicle new or was it a used vehicle and do you have service records. If you do, go through them and look for a job when the ignition switch was replaced and get in touch with that shop. If there is no record get the barrel, lock and switch replaced. Have the shop also inspect the steering column for wear. Do not try to drive the vehicle at all we all need you around. Book the vehicle taken into an authorised dealer and ask them to send a recovery vehicle. Regards John

PROBLEM WITH KEYS AND IMMOBILIZIER HAS TO FIX AT THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP.THEY HAVE TO USE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT TO FIX.TRY ANOTHER KEY TO SEE IF CAR CRANKS.BECAUSE IF ONE KEY IS WORN TOO BAD IT WONT CRANK.

Steering wheel is 'locked' - move it left or right while trying the key. Or make sure the gear selector is fully in Park, if an Automatic.

Try pressing the key down little bit while you are trying to turn it towards ignition, at the same time slowly turning the steering wheel clockwise and counter clockwise ( it's locked but it still moves a little bit), it should release the steering wheel lock. hope it helps
