The key won't turn at all! Have you tried moving the steering wheel while trying to turn the key!
If I have deciphered your post well enough (I think you're also mentioning door lock issues as well), could also be a worn key.

you should be able to unlock the door by inserting the key, ignore the alarm going off and start your engine (key over rides the alarm)

Is your key a security type setup with a battery inside it! It may be a crazy coincidence that all 3 keys have flat batteries

She said in first post "the radio is working so cant be battery" Sounds like immobiliser/key module
