Key won't turn past accessory

Hello everyone, first post here. My cousin has a 92 Camry that just had a problem. The key will turn to accessory, but that's it. It will not turn past that to On or Start. It's like it's locked or something. I tried wiggling the steering wheel (which won't lock), shifting the gearshift through all the gears, and everything I could think of but nothing worked. The key will turn back to off position and pull out, but that's it. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Sounds like you will need a new key cylinder....On our 2000 Camry our key cylinder froze....Took it to DCH Toyota of Oxnard and they wanted 1,200 to fix...Had car towed to Ventura Toyota and paid 525.00 to have it fixed.....They had to drill out the key cylinder and put a new one in.....

IGNITION LOCK SWITCH
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Disconnect the negative battery cable. If equipped with an air bag, wait at least 90 seconds before working on the vehicle.
Remove the lower steering column cover. Unfasten the ignition switch connector under the instrument panel.
Remove the screws which secure the upper and lower halves of the steering column cover.
Turn the lock cylinder to the ACC position with the ignition key.
Push the lock cylinder stop in with a small, round object (cotter pin, punch, etc.).
On some vehicles, it may be necessary to remove the steering wheel and combination switch first.
Withdraw the lock cylinder from the lock housing while depressing the stop tab.
To remove the ignition switch, unfasten its securing screws and withdraw the switch from the lock housing.
To install:
Align the locking cam with the hole in the ignition switch and insert the switch into the lock housing.
Secure the switch with its screw(s).
Make sure both the lock cylinder and column lock are in the ACC position. Slide the cylinder into the lock housing until the stop tab engages the hole in the lock.
Install the steering column covers.
Connect the ignition switch wiring.
Connect the negative battery cable.
