Steering Lock
The steering lock is a security measure which prevents your Ignis being stolen while in gear. It's a great security feature however it can be frustrating when you're in a rush and are unable to unlock your wheel. There are some simple steps you can take to fix the problem.
Make sure that the ignition switch is set to "on". If this is the case, try turning the key in the same direction you did before the wheel was locked. It can be tricky but it's typically enough to unlock the wheel.
If the wheel won't open after spraying canned air in the ignition cylinder apply lubrication to the cylinder. Be sure to wear eye protection prior to taking this action to ensure you don't get any air that has been sprayed into your eyes! Liquid graphite could also help to provide lubrication to the cylinder.
If none of these options are working, you'll have to replace the ignition lock assembly. This part is readily available in any auto parts shop. Make sure you purchase an exact replacement and compare it with the old one. Also, make sure to remove the cover covering the ignition to view and reach the assembly.
Worn
The steering lock can cause the ignition switch to get stuck. This is a security feature that prevents your Ignis from spinning away while the engine is running. If this happens you can detach the steering wheel by manipulating it.

It is also important to see if there is something that is blocking your Ignis key from getting into the ignition cylinder. There can be debris or dirt which can become stuck inside the ignition cylinder and block it from turning.
Try a little lubricant to see whether it can help. There are many different types of lubricant you can buy, so look around your garage or visit an auto parts shop in your area to find one that is able to work.
A silicon "glow-in-the-dark" key cover is another option. These covers absorb light and release it in dark or hazy conditions. These covers will also protect your key from wear and tear. They are available for most Suzuki models and are available on the internet or at a local Suzuki dealership.
Bent
In time and over time, with repeated use, a key may be bent. The teeth of the key could not be able to connect with lock cylinders in the same way. This can stop the key from turning. In this situation, you will need to replace the key. It is a good idea to duplicate the spare key and store it in a secure place.
Another possibility is that the cylinder for ignition itself could wear out. The lock pins inside could become caught together, which prevents the key from moving all the way into or out of the ignition cylinder. The replacement of the cylinder may solve this problem, but it's better to do it before the key gets stuck in the ignition, to avoid further damage.
If the keys of your Ignis remain stuck, even after you've tried the simplest solutions It could be the time to oil the cylinder. Graphite or liquid graphite will allow the lock pins move more freely, and thus unlock your key. suzuki ignis key fob programming can be found at most auto parts shops. Make sure to put your Ignis in park prior to applying the grease. Do not attempt to manipulate the Ignis in order to unbind it. This could cause more serious problems.
Broken
If you have tried all of the easier ways to make a key unstick, but it's still refusing to move, the last resort is to use some lubricant to get it moving. You can purchase this at your local auto parts store and apply it to the inside of the cylinder in the ignition lock using a cotton ball or rag. Move the key gently to spread the lubricant and try again. If you're able to massage it forward, do so but don't push too hard or you risk breaking it in the cylinder.
The circuitry inside the key may also be unresponsive due to age and usage. This isn't nearly as common and usually means you'll have to have the key duplicated for an entirely new one.
