It may be simply that the force of turned wheels are jamming
the locking pin (for instance, if you parked uphill with the wheels
turned and then let the car roll back a bit after locking the key).

While trying to turn the key (not forcing it, just turning it), turn the
steering wheel first one way against the lock, and then the other.
