Default Saturn LS2 Ignition Switch

Hello,

I have a 2000 LS2. Went to use the car the other day but I couldn't get the
ignition switch to turn. The steering wheel is locked as well as the shift
lever. I tried moving the steering wheel while turning the key but the key
won't budge and I'm afraid of breaking the key off in the ignition switch if
I force it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

--
Thanks,
Tony

Try forcing the wheel in opposite directions while lightly turning the
key. It should then find the "unlock" spot and allow you to start up
the car. I think they did this so kids would not put the car in netural
and crash into the house or what-not.
