Help with fast key

Hey guys.. I have a 2013 x gsr with SS package and I just tried to get in the car and start it but the key wouldn't even turn at all. I tried getting in and out and locking and unlocking it several different time but the key wouldn't even budge. It's basically stuck in the locked position. What's the problem here?

Your steering wheel is cocked and adding pressure to the key switch try moving the wheel while turning key.

PS, this has nothing to do with FAST key. This can happen on any car.

It's actually not wiggling the wheel that helps. The steering wheel lock feature can be unlocked by turning the wheel anywhere in between the farthest most positions, then turning the key. Moving it back and forth repeatedly doesn't help.
