Nissan Micra K12 - steering wheel locked, key not turning

[Wezza911]

Any ideas anyone?

try pushing the key before you turn it on

Not unknown unfortunately, but first try squirting some WD40 down the key slot and then trying a spare key, waggling the wheel as usual as you try.
I've fitted new locks to the K11 - that wasn't too bad - but the K12 has little access around the steering column.
