So today I found a new problem with my civic. As I put the keys in the ignition, I attempted to turn the key, the key wouldn't turn, it felt as if the wheel was locked. So I gave the wheel a turn, nope, the wheel wasn't locked. So I just jiggled the key for a bit and it finally turned.

What could be the cause of this? or how do I go about fixing it?

anyone else had this problem?

its a 99 civic.
