Why can't the car key turn and the engine won't start?

The reason why the car key can't turn and the engine won't start after inserting the key is that the steering wheel lock is jamming the key. Unlocking method: When the steering wheel is locked and the car key can't turn, hold the steering wheel with your left hand and gently shake it while simultaneously turning the key left and right with your right hand to unlock it. Steering wheel lock mechanism: After the car is turned off, if you rotate the steering wheel from its centered position to one side (usually to the left) by a certain angle, the steering wheel will make a "click" sound and lock into place. In this locked state, the steering wheel won't move and the key can't turn. To unlock, hold the steering wheel with your left hand, gently shake it while simultaneously wiggling the key with your right hand.
