Default Ignition lock cylinder?

So my key won't turn and I'm 99.9% certain there is something wrong with the ignition lock cylinder.
I've already tried locking and unlocking the steering, hammering, jimmying, WD40& picking the dirt out. I tried my second key as well and still no avail.

I called a mobile automotive locksmith and he wasn't too comfortable to take the steering column / etc out which is what I'm assuming you need to get to the actual ignition part? He said I need to get it to a mechanic but I'm parked in a basement level so I don't quite know what to do ?

Any advice would be awesome!! Thanks in advance !

mine is starting to get sketchy about turning it on. if you have tried it with a new key then I would say the cylinder is toast. I would imagine you would have to purchase a new one from Honda. not sure if their is anything special about it. good luck with it.

i can turn my barrel with my key, sometimes it it a bit tricky to get it to go but once i've got the car started i can take my key out of the barrel with not alot of resistance!
