You could have a defective key. Do you have a second key with the pellet?

I just reread your post above. If the key doesn't feel like its moving anything, you need to check the column parts. The key cylinder turns a gear that pushes a long rod to actuate the switch that is mounted at the bottom of the column. There are 2 bolts that hold it to the column with slotted holes. Does it at least power up the radio in the "on" position?
If the alarm sets off the horns as above, I'd look at the column parts first.
