This could be the ignition lock itself, it happens alot with the S80.
Get this fixed, a new keyed lock will have to be ordered (and also a
software download I think). If you don't get this fixed until the lock
jams up completely, not only will you be stranded, drilling and hacking
will have to be done to get the old one out.

Didn't notice if the wheels were straight. I'd turn the steering wheel
either way a little and re-insert the key. That works. Thanks for the
suggestion. Will try.
