If you've already tried moving the steering wheel left and right (whilst turning the key) another trick is to try moving the steering column up and down. Sometimes this helps with steering lock.

Another thing to note, is to make sure your car is in park (if your using auto). You can also try rolling the car a little and adjusting the steering wheel till it free's up.

Hope this helps.

yup if ur car i an auto the key wont turn unless its in park, happened to me when driving the gf's car, it definitely sounds like a steering lock issue, unless u played around with the ignition barrel.

if you've tried everything else. best to look at the ignition barrel. my uncles one just stuffed up over night next day wasnt turning and we tried everything last resort was looking at the ignition barrel which had to be replaced then it was fine.

some cars (non-hondas) wont start (key turn) if your car is auto and its in drive/reverse. i dont know if hondas do that since i've never driven an auto honda...
