'98 c230 key will not turn

So I parked, came back on in 5 minuted to move my car and the key wouldn't open the doors, so I did in manually. When I put the key in the ignition I didn't even here it click to I can't even turn it so the radio comes on ( or unlock the steering wheel cause I wanted to push it around the corner yea no LOL). I replaced the batteries in he the Key, and the car battery is less then a year old anyhow I did try to get a jump then use the key still nothing. Any ideas?

Key not turning

Hey there... I'm experienced the exact same issue at the moment. Did you have any luck with this?
I have replaced the batteries in the fob... charged the battery in the car... tried the above methods to sync fob... and still nothing. Driver side windows came down partially and it was raining... I am in a whole world of hurt!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Key issues

Very important, at least once a year put WD 40 or another lube on your manual key and work it into the door lock and trunk keyhole. Otherwise it can freeze up and not open manually. Very expensive repair. Just an FYI
