Icon2 Ignition key will not turn

the key will not turn! How difficult is it to replace the key cylinder? being quoted around 160 for the new one. Will I still have to have keys reprogrammed as well? Any experience would be appreciated!!

Sorry. Its a 98 accord v6 sedan. Just realized this morning that as long as the key is in the switch it will start with ignition switch. Guessing its the famous immobilizer. Now I am thinking of using the ignition switch to start it rather than $160+ for a new key cylinder if thats what its called. Any advice for or against this thought? I am not very experienced in auto mechanics so feel free to correct me on any improper terms or part names.
