If the wheel won't open after spraying canned air in the ignition cylinder, you may grease the cylinder. Make sure you wear eye protection prior to doing this to ensure that you don't get any air that has been sprayed into your eyes! Liquid graphite may also work to help lubricate the cylinder.

If none of these methods work, then you'll need to replace the ignition lock assembly. This component is easily found at any auto parts store. Just make sure you purchase the exact replacement, and then compare it to the original before you attempt to install it. Remove the cover from the ignition to see the entire assembly.

If this happens the key will have to be replaced. It is a good plan to duplicate your spare key and keep it in a secure location.

Another reason is that the cylinder for ignition itself could wear out. The internal lock pins could become stuck together, preventing the key from being able to go completely into or out of the ignition cylinder. This can be solved by replacing the cylinder however, it is recommended to replace the cylinder before the key gets stuck in the ignition.

If your Ignis key is stuck despite trying the easier things to fix, it may be time to try lubricating the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite will help the lock pins to move more freely, and thus unbind your key. This is readily available in most auto parts stores. When applying the lubricant make sure your Ignis is in park and don't try to pull it out of its bind it. This could cause more serious problems.

You can buy the lubricant from your local auto parts store and apply it using either a cotton swab, or cloth to the inside of the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key forwards and backwards gently to spread the fluid. If you are able to massage it forward, do so but don't push too hard or you'll break it off in the cylinder.
