Key will not turn to start the car
Try moving it in the opposite direction before turning it to the right. Try waxing the key, maybe there is just something stuck inside the starter lock barrell. Good luck.

Do the ignition lights come, Lights, etc??? It could be the ignition switch, maybe the eletrical switch is stuck in Aux even though you are turning the key in the barrel, you may not be turning the electrical switch underneath. Hope this is helpful. Ian

1994 C280 wont start
You left the key too long in the ignition switch. This sent an alert as if it were being stolen. Remove the key from ignition. Lock all doors. Wait about an hour or so. When you open the doors, put your foot down on the gas pedal and release. Put the key into the ignition and turn the car on.  Make sure you have the shift in "Park" position.

1985 saab wont start the key will not even turn
If the key won't turn it sounds like a problem with the reverse gear locking device. You'll need to remove the gearlever/ignition housing and replace or reset the 3 gears inside. If the ignition barrel is faulty you'll still need to remove the assembly to get it out.
