Volvo 440 Steering lock jammed?

How do I unlock the steering lock on my Volvo 440? It was fine a few hours ago but now the key will not move at all. Have tried 3 different keys with no luck and have made sure there's no pressure on the wheel.

Alas it may be the case that the lock itself has packed in - trouble is they are usually fixed to the steering column with bolts that shear off and the lock has to be cut free. It sounds like you are tugging the wheel to and fro as you try, which is about all you can do. Sorry to hear this!
