The first time I go to start the car in the morning, it's really difficult to turn the key. It almost feels like I'm going to break it off. After it moves the first time, from then on, it turns very easily.

I've tried jiggling the wheel and I replaced the electrical portion of the switch about a year ago. I've also noticed that the steering wheel lock does not work at all.

Any ideas?
