Default Center console lock

So for no apparent reason my key would not go into the center console cylinder... I use it frequently thankfully nothing got locked in but cds however after 5 days of listening to a Metallica cd I finally picked the cylinder .. I'm a locksmith and am familiar (of course) with this issue. Not looking for advice or anything just wanted to **** 'n moan about it.

My key will not insert fully into the center console lock and will not turn to lock it.
