There is an electrical solenoid on the steering column,part of the anti theft system . Check all your fuses with a test light. A blown fuse is most common fault. To get by in the meantime try this , put key in , turn very slowly while at same time try moving steering wheel. when the steering wheel moves stop turning key . now put shifter in neutral. you can then start car .When car is put in park and shutoff you must repeat .

OOPs ,my bad . The steering wheel itself wont turn and the key will not either . The advise i gave was for the shifter not moving but key did. You prob have a bad lock cylinder. here is the instructions to replace. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?chapterTitle=Steering&partName=Suspension+%26+Steering&pageId=0900c1528003d101&subChapterTitle=Ignition+Lock+Cylinder&partId=0900c1528003d0a5">http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repair ... 528003d0a5</a><!-- m -->
