I go out to start my car at work today and the key/ignition cylinder will not turn at all I have read up 'Column Lock' issues and have not seen this issue described in the symptoms. Am I possibly dealing with a BCM issue when the key will not even turn to ACC or ON? For grins I did pull the battery and put it on charger they have for the vehicles here at work, no dice. Could these be caused by a low voltage issue?

Thank you for the suggestions...

Stupid question, but have you tried moving the sterring wheel from one side to the other?

LOL guys...I think the tumbler is stuck in the ignition cylinder...FYI this is not an F-body, it's an 03 Z06. I should have mentioned that in my first post. The ignition is in the dash/console, not on the steering column. I have the ignition cylinder and electronics out of the car at this point, taking to a locksmith...

Oh, my bad. I assumed. That would be the next obvious thing. I was going to say puy the key in, jiggle it up and down while you try to turn it.

I did a quick search on CF and it looks like you will need a new lock cylinder. Keep me posted in case this happens to me too !

I got the cylinder turning and cleaned the contacts inside the ignition switch. No dice on the car firing..However; with the cylinder now turning to ACC/ON, I can get DTC codes. The BCM is throwing a B 2723 HC code, which appears to be pass key related. I am about to just replace the cylinder and possibly the ignition switch as well.

Well, that's a little progress at least. Did it give you any problems beforehand or did it just lock up on you ?

Then did you jiggle the dash? Always worked for me!

I found the issue...one of the sensors inside the ignition cylinder that measures the resistance of the VAT's pellet in the key is gone! I am guessing pieces of it ended up in the cylinder itself causing it to lock the cylinder briefly. I just need to buy a new lock cylinder for the ignition and find a locksmith willing to program the new key, or re-key the new cylinder to my old key...
