An ignition question

This just started today, My key wont turn my ignition. As in I have the key in the ignition and it will turn to left to power acessories, but it will not turn to the right to turn the engine on. So my question is this: is my key just worn down or do I need a new ignition. Thanks in advance for the help

Do you mean that the key will not physically turn the lock? You might try some graphite grease on the key to lubricate the tumblers.
