Had this same problem with mine once too. The key fit but wouldn't turn in the ignition, although it unlocked the doors. Everything locked up on me and it was lame. Turns out that my key was worn down in a way where the metal didn't fit right on it. Ended up making another key.

Might be the same problem you're having.

Only time this happened to me is when the steering column on my dad's old F150 went bad.

Dont overlook the obvious- Lack of lube in a lock will make it stick so it wont owrk. I've only had one lock wear out where I had to refit the tumblers. All the rest that quit were from lack of lubricant.

Japanese car locks, especially doors are notorious for getting water in them and freezing. Combat it now with some lube.

or even the more obvious, try moving the steering wheel, sometimes it can cause the ignition switch to stick
