If the key wouldn't go in, that means the key cylinder is no good or something is jammed inside.

It could the key. If the key is not properly cut it will be difficult or impossible to insert it. And, of course, it will not turn. Do you only have one key?

I'd have a second key cut from the VIN before I replaced the cylinder. If you replace the cylinder you'll loose that option for life.

If the key works properly in the doors, than its your key cylinder. If not, than its probably your key.

Although by now, you key cylinder could be damaged as well.
