I've found that all I need to do is push the bars a slight bit to the left as i turn the key -- just to relieve the small amount of tension on handlebar-key lock mechanism. On all my cars, if there is side-to-side pressure on the front tires when parked with the wheel lock on, I have to do the same with the steering wheel. Always thought it was the normal.
I get what you're saying but my issue is somewhat different. It didn't happen until after I had used the lock. Ever since then, with the handlebars unlocked, the wheel straight, the key struggles to go in, doesn't want to turn at all and is a bear to get back out. I have to put it in, wiggle it around, pull it out some where it resists as if it's actually stuck in the ignition, then I can turn it. Half of the time. My other key, seems to be working fine. I'm going to try the locksmith route and cross my fingers that it's more of a key issue than an ignition mechanism issue.
