If you can move the shifter while the ignition is in the locked position, that's another problem. If the steering wheel is not jammed up against the steering lock pin, which it sounds like it isn't, you most likely have a worn out ignition cylinder or something jammed inside the ignition switch or column. It will have to come apart to be sure. There's too many things inside to say for sure, but the most common is a worn out cylinder. What does your key look like, worn and discolored? Tha'ts a good indication.
