Unhappy Need Your Guys' Help Desperately, Car Can't Start

Hi guys,

Please help me out. I parked my 04 Rx8 3 hours ago on the driveway of my house and took a nap. Later on, when I got into the car, I couldn't even turn my key after i plugged it in. I went home and brought other two backup ones which still couldn't turn.

What's wrong with my car probably? It feels so....o strange!!!

what happens when you turn the key? anything at all? noises, clicks, do you hear all the relays clicking on and off?

Does it turn over at all or just dead silence?

Your Steering Wheel is lock! Turn the Steering wheel a little bit, then turn the key.
