Key Won't Turn in Lock - Drive Accord Honda Forums

Pull more to left and try to move key.

Put one hand on the steering wheel and rotate slightly left and right alternatively whilst turning the ignition key at the same time with the other hand. This might release the steering wheel and start ignition.

Hope this helps.

where your front wheels turned at a sharp angle when you shut off car-the locking system may be have pressure on it-try pulling or rocking the steering wheel back and forth while applying pressure to the key-you may be able to feel the key trying to move-put more pressure on the steering wheel in that direction-hope this helps-cheers Denny

Either you got the wrong lock or you messed something up. Time to take it out and start over.

turn steering wheel to the right and turn key

check your key see if its not damaged ok also press the break move the steering wheel slowly and move the key as you are moveing the steering wheel

In hope that you have the right key, put him in, try to turn the steering wheel a little bit at the same time you try to unlock the ignition.Sometimes it's possible that you've used your steering wheel as help wile getting out of the car. At this case, maybe the wheel lock snaps in, but the wheels are under pressure from the ground. Now you want to unlock your car at it seams that the key wont turn. The wheels get pressure from the ground, so the whole steering is under pressure and your steering wheel pressed against the locker block. If you try to turn the locked steering wheel, you'll see that it turns appr. 1" to one side. This is the needed space to unlock with the key. I hope that works in your case.

sounds like your steering column lock is binding you need to slightly turn the steering one way or the other while turning the key at the same time. this happens if the steering wheel is turned after removing the key. or when parked against a curb. 

This is a security function of the steering wheel. If you stop the car then turn the wheel until it clicks you have now locked the steering wheel, this helps prevent theft as the thief cannot turn the wheel.

Only by having your key in the ignition and turning the wheel can you 'unlock' the steering wheel making it safe to drive. If its becoming harder to unlock, it could be wearing down too much and the mechanical function will need replacement. I doubt it will need this though, most car sinces the 90's have steering wheel lock function standard, I've never seen one go wrong.
