Car key won't fit ignition anymore

I own a Jaguar S-Type and I can't get the key into the ignition or the driver's door. I have tried the spare key, but that also refuses to fit either barrel. Any ideas?

I'm finding this very difficult to understand. If there was a fault with the door lock then that would not be replicated with the ignition lock, so the problem must be with the keys.
