Key turn on

I have had some difficulty in turning on my key on the steering column it sticks, and is causing issues with the wife and me, I either turn the wheel left or right, or I just wiggle the key one direction or another to get the key to turn on to start, and to turn the key backwards to acc, forget it. I'm looking for a solution to this issue.

Thanks, in advance. Dave

Is your wheel turned when you insert the key?
If so, park with the wheel not hard-over.
Also, check to be sure the assembly is firmly in the steering column. They can get a little jacked out of place.

Is it an original key or a copy? I had this problem on my wife's Yukon. It was only with the spare key I had made at Wal-Mart. I have all of my keys made at the locksmith now.
