You may just need to have a new key made.

Or try slightly turning the wheel to relieve the pressure of the ignition column lock?

I've tried moving the wheel but it's not locked, I literally have to mess with the key wiggling it for a couple minutes till it turns.

Clean the ignition switch lock mechanism with WD40 and also make a new key. Then go from there.

Are you saying you can't physically turn the key to the starting position III, or that when you do turn the key to III nothing happens?

these cars are getting old so the cylinders could get worned out. I would've rekeyed all the cylinders in the car to be safe.
