Key won't go into ignition or turn

[mdwyer]

Use the handle to open the back door not the key. The key whether OEM or not is not strong enough to pull the door open without losing integrity.

You misunderstand me. (And thanks a lot for that vote of confidence, there. And are you still beating your wife?) The key bends while turning it in the cylinder, not while pulling the door open.

Keep looking on ebay, I see em' on there every month or two...

Those are still aftermarket keys, despite the plastic.

Anyway, I stand by my original comment. If the key's been torqued, it won't fit into the ignition keyway. If there's torque on the steering wheel lock, the key will go into the keyway, but it will be difficult --if not impossible-- to turn the key without turning the steering wheel away from the locking pin, first.
