Ignition Locked

Hello,

I have a 1984 Mercedes Benz 380 SL with 156,000 miles on it. It has a 3.8 litre engine. Yesterday I went to start it and the key will not move in the ignition to turn it over - the ignition is locked. I have an alarm system on it, but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. The lock just seems frozen. The day before it seemed a little stuck, but I was still able to turn the key and start it. Now it's totally frozen or stuck and I can't start the car. Any ideas?

Your help is much appreciated and so is your time.

God bless,

Melissa P.

The ignition switch is the prob, when locked it has to be drilled out, this is a major job
