The key would be up/down/vertical when locked and sideways/horizontal when unlocked.
The lock is completely seperate from the handle and prevents the lock bolt from retracting. This is a positive locking mechanism which means if you can't get the lock cylinder to turn so the key is in a horizontal position you are probably not going to get it open without damaging something, because the lock bolt will not retract...
