I'm sure you've jiggled the steering column a few times to free up the steering lock. You might try a shot of "tri-flow with teflon" lubricant into the key slot and run the key in out a dozen times. I've had good luck with this on a number of locks around the house including my recently purchased 2000 taco. The Tri-Flow doesn't seem to leave a gummy residue like some of them. It's worth a shot...Let me know if it helps.
