Try spraying some lubricant where you put your key in, move the key in and out a few times, it sounds like your tumblers in your ignition is sticking.

Key is locked in the ignition swicth

If the steering wheel is under great tension, this can cause the key to be unable to unlock the steering column or turn in the cylinder. Try pulling the wheel first to the right while turning the key, and if that fails, then the left. Often this will release the tension and allow the key to turn and the column to unlock.

98 Chrysler Town & Country Ignition, steering wheel & gear shift are all locked up. Last night we stopped to get some fast food. When we came back out to the van, it would not allow us to move...

Sometimes the mechanical system that locks your steering wheel has too much vehicle weight which can prevent the key from turning. If you can move the vehicle back and forth while someone turn the steering wheel and turn the ignition switch.

Ignition won't turn to start vehicle. Tapping on key works some time, and allows rotation

SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED A NEW IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER, WITH NEW KEYS. IT CAN BE CHANGED STEERING WHEEL IN PLACE. REMOVE THE PLASTIC UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, TAKE A LOOK.

Key wont turn in ignition

first make sure the steering wheel isn't in the lock position, putting pressure on the ignition switch. if that is ok, get the key cylinder replaced asap before it quits completely. (harder to change a that point) what condition is the key in? maybe try fresh one.
