Steering Lock
The steering lock is a security feature that protects your Ignis from being stolen when it's in gear. It's a useful security feature but it can be a hassle when you're in a rush and are unable to unlock your wheel. There are some simple steps you can take to fix the issue.
Verify first that the ignition switch is set to "on". Then, if you're sure, try turning the key in the direction you turned before the wheel became locked. It's tricky, but usually it is enough to unlock the wheels.
If the wheel doesn't unlock then you can spray a small amount of canned air into the ignition cylinder, to lubricate it. Just be sure to wear eye protection when doing this so you do not get any canned air in your eyes! Liquid graphite could also help to provide lubrication to the cylinder.
If none of these works, you will need to replace the ignition assembly. This part is easily found in any auto parts shop. Be sure to buy the exact replacement and compare it to your original before attempting to install it. Also, make sure to take off the cover that covers the ignition so that you can see and access the assembly.
Worn
The steering lock could cause the ignition switch to get stuck. This security feature is designed to stop your Ignis from moving while the engine is running. If this occurs you can detach the steering wheel by manipulating it.
Over time, your Ignis key can start to wear out and become more difficult to turn. It may not occur as frequently as a damaged switch, but it can occur. If this is the case, then you need to replace your key.
You should also check to find out if there is anything obstructing your Ignis key from getting into the ignition cylinder. There may be debris or dirt which can become stuck inside the ignition cylinder, preventing it from turning.
In the end, you can try using a bit of oil to see if it helps. There are many different types of lubricant you could buy, so browse your garage or visit an auto parts store in your area to find one that can work.

Replacing the cylinder can solve this issue, however it is best to do it before your key gets stuck in the ignition, to avoid further damage.

Graphite or liquid graphite will assist the lock pins in being able to move more freely, and ultimately unlock your key. You can find this at most auto parts stores. Make sure you place your Ignis in park prior to applying the oil. Don't try manipulating the Ignis with your hands to release it from its binding. This could lead to more serious problems.
Broken

You can buy this lubricant at a local auto parts shop and apply it with either a cotton swab, or rag to the inside of the lock cylinder. Try again. Move the key backwards and forwards gently to spread out the oil. If you're able to massage it forward, do it but do not push too hard or you may break it off in the cylinder.
