Since u recently bought your car, probably someone had accident and changed both doors without changing locks to original ones.

you probably have wrong keys, most likely your ignition switch was replaced and the key doesn't match the door.

^^^ Get a locksmith to make a Key for your doors. Most likely it was a theft vehicle and they just replaced the ignition cyl.... LOL

FYI almost ALL honda keys will slide in, if it does not turn, it is not the right key...

Sounds like the wrong key, or what happened to me...someone I bought the car from had a key made but it was made on the wrong sized blank....got the correct blank and recut the key and now it works great....good luck.
