1990 xj6 sovereign ignition key issue

This morning I jump started the car and used my ignition key to start it and had no issue. I turned the car around and shut it off.
This afternoon I put the key in and turn it. It only goes about a quarter turn and nothing happens. The usual "springy resistance" I normally feel is not there.
Car is in park. Tried wiggling the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal.
Other than a broken ignition cylinder, is there anything that could cause this?

What's odd is that I left it sit a while, removed the bottom steering column cover, then tried the key again and it worked fine. It's still fine after putting the cover back on.
Do you know if these cars have some kind of security or lockout that would disable the key for a short period of time?
