Default Car dosnt recognize key

I have a Lexus RX 330 2006.
Two days ago my key couldn't start the car he stuck inside the ignition.
I ordered a locksmith guy and he open the auto meter so he can get to the ignition.
Now the ignition working but when I try to start the car the car dosnt start.
The security system turn on and off , it's seem like the car dosnt recognize the key, the guy also make a new key and program the car but still the car is not charging, I also order mechanics to see if somethings wrong with the car and he didn't see any problem .
I think the car shut down and I need professional guy who know how to program the car , but I don't want to bring another guy and pay again and the car will still don't work.
I don't know what to do , any idea?
Thanks

Take it to the Lexus dealer and prepare to send part of bill to locksmith. Sounds like you started with a mechanical failure of the ignition lock cylinder which has become an immobilizer problem.

You think you know how much it's going to be the price ?

I would assume diagnostic would be one or two hours. So depending on your dealer's rate, $160-320?
