This just happened to my 96 C220. It was hanging up a bit this week and all of sudden the key would not turn. Steering wheel is laso in the lock position. I also ended up chatting with the MB technician who called me after I called roadside assistance.

He suggested spraying it with graphite and/or lubricant - which I did. I wiggled the steering wheel and tried turning but no dice.

How did yours work out (back in 05)
