Can you help me troubleshoot my ignition starter switch that is jamming?

Sometimes the pins in your ignition switch will lose lubrication and cause problems inserting and removing the keys from your car. The first thing to try is to spray a small amount of liquid graphite directly into your keyed ignition and work your key in and out a few times to re-lubricate the pins.

It's probably a worn-out key. If the wheel is turned, that can put pressure on the locking pawl and keep the key from turning.
