Don't force it, but DO try it over and over and over, maybe pulling key out just a tad from where it normally stops.
On my driver door, the key needs sometimes to be withdrawn just a little, or flipped over, to turn. Ignition cylinder could have similar problems, maybe?
Someone on here reported resorting to tapping on his key, driving it inwards, to get it to turn. Sounds as if it could be doing damage and I don't recommend it, but could there be something caught in there that's stopping it from going in all the way?
Is the ignition lock cylinder responding properly, i.e., is it DEPRESSING just a bit after key is inserted, and popping back up when key is removed?
As one of the others suggested, are front wheels applying any pressure to things? Can't remember whether you've answered that; it's kind of obvious but sometimes... An easy answer would be a blessing.
