Ignition Can Turn But Fails To Unlock The Steering For Toyota Camry 1998

My steering wheel was locked while parked. Has tried to unlock the steering wheel by switching on the ignition and at the same time turning the steering wheel. The ignition key can turn but the steering remains locked. My ignition used to have some course and irregular run when turning at lock and access level (pre-start level). My car is a toyota camry 1998 that is nearing the 90,000 km mark. Can someone help
