Default 02 Montero Lt ignition locking, key won't turn

yesterday while at gas station, got back in car, key would not turn. wiggled key, yank on steering whee, key won't turn. Called parts store, they ask each other then say yank hard on steering wheel, stepping on brake, and it worked. What worries me is it has done it twice more today. Never had any problem before. Any help
It is doing it again today. Three yanks, key turns. But leaving post office, steering wheel was not locked, still would not turn, but I wiggled steering wheel a few times and it turned.
What could this be? Is it something in the key chip or steering wheel? Any help before I get stuck somewhere!
