Your alarm probably cuts power to the ignition. Thats what mine does. try disarming the alarm before you turn the key. push the button on your remote if you have one. good luck! hope this helps!

k, i hope this helps, but it may make you feel dumb. it did me when i learned it the hard way, but put the key in and try to turn it, then turn the steering wheel back and forth while twisting the key. it should turn. the steering wheel lock will hold the ignition in place if its locked just right. good luck, if its not that, it could get expensive.
