sounds like your key itself is worn . does your key look worn down ? if not the lock cylinder is removed by a torx screw under the lock plate in column. you need to pull the wheel, use puller (pusher) to hold the lock plate down to removed snap ring. remove screw & remove key cylinder. good luck hope it helps.
