Ignition problem

My Pontiac Aztek 2001 is not allowing the key into the ignition. It seems to be locked. The key will not even slide in at all. I have disconnected the battery. I have tried the hidden ignition switch under the column. I have tried the gear switch in the cup holder. Any other ideas on why this is happening. When a P3 key is not recognized can you still slideit into the ignition?

Thanks

Make sure the key is not damaged in any way. It seems that the ignition cylinder has dropped a tumbler and is jamming. You need a new cylinder
