Mom backed into my car....and now the key won't turn!


i never knew this place existed or i would have registered alonggggg time ago.

I own a 2005 Acura RSX, 4-cylinder, and at 5:30AM TODAY, when my mom goes to work, she accidentally backed into the side of my car (right side of the trunk area).

Damage isn't big, there's a dent, but that's pretty much it. The friggin alarm didn't even sound.

But, when i went in to start my car, i put my keys in the ignition and it won't move. completely stuck at the I position.

I also notice that the red light for the anti-theft continues to blink. but i don't remember if it always did that even with the car unlocked or if it blinks only when it's locked.

is there a way to get my keys to move in the ignition? is this some safety/security feature? if it is, how do i disable it? i googled around thinking it was some security thing and other cars have ways to bypass it, ei)manually lock and unlock the passenger door etc.
i also checked the manual online at acura.com but it doesn't say anything about my situation. or maybe i just didn't quite understand the terminology used there.

please help! i won't be able to go to school on monday or church on sunday if this problem won't go!

thank you SO MUCH in advance.

p.s. and no...i don't have warranty anymore, aughhh i don't know what to do. or how much it'd be if it's unfixable and i have to take it somewhere.
