Try tapping the end of the key with something while you are trying to turn it. It might dislodge whatever's jammed.

Thanks for advice Kevin, had tried everything this site suggested finally this afternoon started it with friends help, had me moving locked steering wheel left to right from passenger seat while mate turned key in ignition repeatedly took about 5 second, have now taken barrel out and cleaned seems okay crossed fingers, hopefully thats £150 i won't have to spend.
Cheers Steve
