Question Ignition Switch and Key - Jams

I am having trouble with the ignition switch not turning sometimes... is it the key or the switch?? If wiggle/push the key usually it will turn, however sometimes I am afraid I'm going to be stranded! Anyone with this problem??

first of all make sure your car is securely in park. and then move your steeringwheel slightly left to right ( even though it is locked just wiggle it) this should allow you to turn the key...

If that doesn't help, either the ignition is wearing or the key is. If you have a bunch of keychains hanging from your key when it's in the ignition, this causes wear on the cylinders in the ignition, as well as the key itself. As this wear gets worse, the key won't fit as well. You will eventually have to replace the ignition, or if you're lucky just ket a new key.
