You probably just locked the steering wheel by accident. Can you turn the wheel at all? If not, then turn the steering wheel kinda hard (you will have to use a little force) to one direction while pushing in/turning the key.

My girlfriends Civic did the same thing a few times. Apparently it's sort of a defect from factory. We took the Civic to Honda they replaced something under warranty and has never happened again.

try lubricating the lock mechanism with a light lube. just spray it in where the key goes into the ignition. sometimes dirt/whatever gets into the tumblers and freezes them.

Re: problem with taking key out (slowassR)
ok this happens on my bro auto civic when he just installed a shift ****. take out the negative cable on your battery then you should be able to take it out for now. if that was it then fix your auto shifter.
if that dont work then readjust your ****. hehe
if it stills dont work then you're screwed, nah i just dont know. thats my $0.02

One time my friend actaully BENT his key inside his ignition. It was stuck in there for a long time.
Sounds stupid but check it out.

Re: problem with taking key out (EG6owner)
My x's CRV would do that every once in a while. We figured out that if you put the car in drive, and roll foward a bit, then step on the brake, put it in park, and take the key out, while your foot is still on the brake. Never did figure out what the problem was, it was went away after a little while.
