02 Honda Civic Coupe/ Key won't turn in the ignition unless I try 10+ times.
My key fits perfectly in to my car, it works perfect on both doors and trunk. But when I try to turn the ignition, I have to try to turn it 10-20 times before it will start. It feels like the key doesn't fit. But yet it works perfectly fine on the other parts of the car. My steering wheel isn't locked, it never is. My key just won't turn properly for some reason.

It sounds like the pins in the lock cylinder of your ignition switch may be a bit gunked up.
