It looks like to me that steering lock is gone bad and haven't got unlocked while you inserted the key (usual way).

Big fix is you need to take car to mechanic on recovery and he has to open the steering wheel cover and reach out the lock cylinder to inspect and change it 9if needed).

Smaller fix, you can try yourself. Disconnect battery terminal for more than 5 mins and reconnect and then again insert the key in steering and see if it unlock the steering. If its electrical glitch (i doubt) then it will be resolved. If mechanical issue (more likely) of steering lock is broken or stuck then you need a big fix.

Good luck Farzan
