ESC key doesn`t work when I enter 'vi .bash_profile'

enter image description here

As I said on title, ESC key does not work when I enter to 'vi .bash_profile' and I have to use forced termination. I searched other question already and I tried press 'Ctrl+[' but it was not working also. Does anybody know how to escape from 'vi .bash_profile' after editing?
