It is possible that your key is warren out. you could have a different key made ,some times it can take a few times to git it right, if the key is badly worn out,but give it a few tries .if all fails you will have to replace your ignition tumbler's [key lock cylinder] if after trying the key ,please feel free to check back, ask if you have any further questions, Thank you.

Key won't turn in 2001 chrysler town and country

there was a TSB technical service bulletin on the ignition switch and lock cylinder on chrysler product vans, i believe your model year falls into that. the lock cylinder would lock up and not allow the key to turn. not a particularly easy do-it-yourselfer project, takes a few special tools and must be wary of working around the airbag.

The pins in the lock itself may have gotten sticky over time; spray a short burst of penetrating lubricant (WD-40 or similar) directly into the keyhole and then run the key in and out a few times.
