Exclamation Ignition Problem, Need help ASAP!

I took a friend of mine to McDonalds last night, and then as we are leaving, I stick the key in the ignition, and the bitch wont turn. Its like its jammed in Lock position, it wont go to ACC or anything, its just fucking stuck in Lock. So I look at my key, its pretty old, has some scratches, and it kinda looks bent.. but it had to have been bent like that before, how do you bend a key in the amount of time to mcdonalds? So anyways, I call another friend of mine, have him drive me all the way to wal-mart, I have a key made, after them giving me the problem that they didnt think Eagle was a car manufacturer (lol), finally they just make a key that looks like mine, perfectly straight, theres a small error in it, but they key still went into the ignition just like the old one, the bitch still wont turn out of lock. Does anyone know whats wrong or have ever had this problem? My car is sitting at McDonalds until I can walk up there and fix it.

im such a newb, that was the problem, but I didnt think it was because I was trying to turn the wheel last night and it wasnt working, this morning I turned the wheel and it unlocked with ease.. my car is the devil.
