Steering Lock
The steering lock is a security measure that protects your Ignis from being stolen while in gear. It's a great safety feature, but it can be annoying when you're in a hurry and can't unlock your wheel. There are a few simple steps you can take to fix the issue.

Make sure to purchase the exact replacement, and then compare it with your old one before you attempt to install it. Also, make sure to take off the cover over the ignition so that you can be able to see and access the ignition.
Worn

The lock pins inside could become stuck together, which can prevent the key from going completely into or out of the cylinder.

Move the key backwards and forwards gently to spread the oil. You can try pushing it forward, but take care not to press too hard because you could damage the cylinder.
