Bent tumbler inside the ignition lock cylinder.. Replace the cylinder is all you can do to fix this. I have seen 100's of cases such as yours in the past decade with this problem

Key wont turn to start car

I know tis may sound a little bad but have you tried to turn the wheel while you turn the key. Sometimes the wheel gets locked up when turned to far after the key is removed.

The key wont turn

With this year model it is most likely the key and lock barrel are both worn so they don't match anymore. Take the key to an auto locksmith and explain. He can cut another key with a little extra metal on the profile to get started, but most likely you will then need a new barrel and key fitted.

The solution lies in the interlock with the shift linkage. Make sure the transmission and therefore the shift colomn make it into park or neutral.
