I'm hoping the solution is something simple and would be grateful for any help.

I put my key in the ignition (fiat punto) and i can't turn the key to turn the engine on, it's as if the lock is locked.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks.

Steering lock is on. turn the stearing wheel at the same time.

Agree with neeeeeek. Try wiggling the steering wheel whilst you turn the key.
