While trying to turn the key, move the steering wheel back and forth. You might have to put some muscle into the steering wheel while applying pressure to the key.

Well i got it unlock but had to get the MH rocking first and had to push real hard on the left front tire then i was able to get the steering wheel to move enough to unlock it.

Thanks for the help.
