Car ignition?

About 15 months ago, the ignition in my 2011 Nissan Altima was replaced by a new one. I had no problems until last night, I got into my car and the key wouldn't turn. I noticed my steering wheel was very crooked and I turned it left and right and my key turned on the car when I did that. I am worried the ignition is going again. I was hoping it was because my steering wheel wasn't straight and it had locked. But I have been having a lot of bad luck with the car since I got it. Is it possible, the new ignition could be going again a little over a year later?

    The steering wheel can lock in many places at different angles not just straight ahead. Particularly when this happens there may be a little force on the locking mechanism that needs to be relieved by you turning the wheel slightly whilst turning the key

    its normal and nothing to be concerned about
