I've never been in a NG900, but in a Classic 900 the cause of the key not turning was almost always dirt or trash in the ignition switch, so the key could not go all the way down into the switch. Forcing the key to turn in this situation would bend the key, and could break the key if continued to force it.
SO, as suggested spray WD40, or better, silicon lubricant, to remove contaminant. Even using something suitable to "dig" out dirt can help. Once the key is down in the switch cylinder, it should turn with little or no resistance.
