Default Startng

I have a 2006 Crossfire Roadster. I tried to start it this morning and the key will not turn. Lights work all is good. Drove it for about an hour yesterday, no problem. Now the key won't turn at all. Any input or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Do you know if the sticky key fix has been done? You might try moving the steering wheel while turning the key to relieve tension on the ignition switch.

Helpful link to problems that has helped me out a lot.
Look under ELECTRICAL - STICKY KEY FIX.

This happens with my 2006 roadster.
As ZERACER said, I turn the steering wheel a little and it starts with no problem.
The steering column locks when you turn the car off. Sometimes if you lean on the wheel when you turn it off, it puts tension on the ignition lock and prevents the key from turning.

Thank you. Thats the first thing I tried but it wouldn't move{before my post.} Went back later tried it again before I stood by the car turned the wheel a bit and for whatever reason it worked this time. All is well. Thought I might be in for the sticky ignition fix.

Thanks again, {everyone} Jack

Hi Jack,
Just a thought, you might want to do the sticky key fix now or in the near future while the key is free to move since it's pretty easy and straightforward at the moment. If the key jams, that's when it gets hard to fix - grinding in that tight space is not easy.
