Locked Ignition Switch
So I parked the '06 90 in the garage with the wheel slightly turned. Got out and it was sticking out a bit so I just pushed it in so I could close the garage door. Went out 2 days later and I could not turn the key in the ignition switch. Thought it might be locked with the steering wheel but turning that back and forth would not unlock the key switch. When I turned the wheel you could see the key in the ignition jump just a bit so I assume it is the barrel (?). I ended up pushing the 90 back out of the garage about half a meter and tried it again. This time the key started to turn but with a considerable amount of resistance. When I got the steering wheel unlocked I straightened out the wheels and now the key turns easily. Is this normal? I assume something is not right and would like to fix it so I don't get stranded somewhere having the same issue. Did a search but couldn't find anything similar. Is the switch faulty maybe? Below is hopefully a video showing how the key/barrel jumped when I turned the steering wheel. Thanks for any guidance.
