Is the steering wheel in the locked position? That would be the only reason why the correct key wouldn't turn in the ignition. Try pulling down on the left side of the steering wheel with your left hand and turning the key with the right hand. That should unlock the steering wheel and get the key to turn. If it doesn't turn, push up on the left side of the steering wheel and turn the key. With some effort , the locked steering wheel should unlock and your key should turn correctly.
