2Apply pressure to the key and turn the steering wheel back and forth to attempt to find a free spot where the key turns.A very common reason for the key not turning in modern cars is that the steering column lock can be in a bind. When this happens, you'll need to exert pressure against the ignition mechanism and persist until it unlocks. For those with a sense of
3If you have an automatic transmission, check and make sure the selector is in park.Some cars will prevent you turning the key if the selector is in any position other than park or neutral; it can be easy to overlook this when tired or in a hurry.

Be careful not to allow it to drip on upholstery or carpet. Keep the car open to prevent accumulation of fumes, and avoid sparks and open flames. Once you've added
5On some lock cylinders, a tumbler may bind in a locked position, and the springs are unable to to push it back out.Firmly tapping the face of the lock cylinder can release the stuck tumbler. A tack hammer is about the perfect size and weight for most key cylinders.
6Check the key itself.Place the key on a very flat, solid surface, and observe if it lays flat or is arched up from the surface either at the ends or in the middle. If it looks crooked, take a block of wood, or some similar hard object which to strike the key and bend it back to a flat shape. Do not use a hammeror other steel or hard metal object, as the key is made of fairly soft metal such as brass, and the grooves may be damaged when it is struck.
7Tap the key.Tap the end of the key, while in the ignition, with a hammer or hard object while attempting to turn the key. Warning, watch out for your fingers.
