A stiff ignition, worn key blade or damaged vehicle lock should be checked before it leaves you stuck.
Warning signs
The key may stick, turn only after jiggling, fail to spring back or feel loose in the barrel. A copied worn key can make the problem worse.
What to do next
Stop forcing the key if the ignition or lock feels wrong. Call with the vehicle details and explain exactly what the key is doing.
