The key in my daughter's car was very hard to turn even after replacing the electronic ignition switch. I have disassembled some old ignition tumblers and found that they had hardened grease jamming them. Try cleaning and lubing the ignition. With my daughter's car, I just put grease on the key and turned it a few times, then it was fine.

No telling what everyone's grumpy about, but there's a lot of it going around. I was really sad to see Jamesp quit the forum a couple months back. He had always been very generous and helpful with me. Maybe we should all tune out the cable news and Twitter for a month or two. Go for a drive or plan a trip for when your car comes out of storage.
