I felt something break inside my ignition when I turned the key, and can't start my car. How do I fix this?

You need to identify what has broken. To do so, the steering column will need at least partially taken apart. You have the tumbler (where you put the key) which connects to a steel rod (linkage) which then goes to the ignition switch. Please note, if you remove the steering wheel, allow the battery to be disconnected at least 30 minutes before you start working on it. That way there will be no chance of the airbag deploying.
