Starting--key Won't Turn. Car Thinks There's One Already In.
My 2001 RX300 thinks there's a key in it already. When I insert a key, I can't turn it. The ringing chimes sound when I open the doors with no keys in it because the car thinks there's one in it. Most importnatly, I can't start the car.

This is a feature called steering wheel lock. If you really can't unlock it I guess you will need to have it towed to a dealer. If the system does not recognize the key, it will not allow the cylinder to be turned. A discharged battery could also be the culprit of a key cylinder failing to turn.
