There is a little rod/pin in the bottom of the lock cylinder that the key pushes down on. It hits a little teeter-totter type gizmo that in turn depresses a pin in the bottom of the ignition switch. It's only function is to engage the "you left your key in the ignition" alert. Moisture from condensation or something sticky spilled into the lock cylinder can freeze that little pin in place and you won't be able to fully insert the key until you free it up somehow. Some WD-40 usually does the trick.
