Hi there. If the key can go into the ignition switch and turn then the key is the right one. If the switch is not turning all the way, then the switch is damaged and needs replaced with the key unless you can get the factory key switch for your car. If you need further assistance with your key not turning all the way, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
