Also, get in on the driver's seat. Only in the driver's seat will the car dashboard appear at the bottom of the screen, otherwise you're probably sitting in the co-driver's seat.

Once you're in the driver's seat, with key in inventory (or hotwired), just press W to start the engine. However, sometimes the engine doesn't turn on right away, like if your battery is weak, so you might have to press it a few times. You'll hear it chug and see the engine icon on dashboard turn orange instead of green. Once it's green it will be in neutral not park, then you should be able move forward or backward, left and right turn the wheels. Hope that helps.

have to have key or be able to hotwire.

OP is banned but google brought me here. Multiple answers, essentially have key or be able to hotwire(it's not automatic and not necessarily a given trait) are the easiest answers. Hotwire requires screwdriver. And either 1 electrical and 2 mechanical skill.

Or be a burglar
