help! Key won't leave LOCK position! :(
hey everyone, I searched and couldn't find anything that would help. I have a 93 sc300 and the key won't turn in the ignition. The steering wheel is locked now too so I have go idea what to do. Tried moving the steering wheel and key around at the same time for about 2 hours but still no luck.
Happy new years everyone

Yeah its the original key with the remote unlock/lock which doesnt work. Im thinking that the key might have been bent but the last time i started it was last week and it didnt struggle this much.
