Acuras are a luxury brand manufactured by Honda. The inability to turn the key while inserted in the steering column may be caused by several issues, most of which can be fixed right away.
As a safety feature, an Acura's steering wheel locks if it moved once the car is turned off. While the wheel is locked the key hole will also become locked. To fix the issue, move the locked wheel side to side while simultaneously turning the key.
For the key to be turned, Acuras require the gear shift to be in Park and the brake pedal depressed. Sometimes the gear box can become stuck in between the Park and reverse gears creating the illusion of the gear box being in park. Making sure the gear is in Park will solve the problem.
On occasion, Acura's key housing can become damaged or malfunction. If the key housing is broken, it will need replacing and must be taken to a mechanic or an Acura dealership for repair.
