try turning it... it fits only 1 way... turn it till it fits.... i've never gotten any problems taking any stock rims out... i've owned 2 lexus' before and it has no problems... i doubt they gave you the wrong keys
don't tell me it's your first with handling this type of wheel locks

Hmm surprising. The wheel locks fit real snug for my wheels. Maybe you should bring to dealership to check if they gave you right key.
I for one found the IS to be pretty easy to work with. I felt like I was working on my 97 corolla at times.
