Yesterday when I started my car(1983 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 with the original ignition switch I think) and drove home I discovered that it was stuck right past the on position. It will not turn back at all but it will turn forward to start. I had to disconnect the coil pack to turn it off. I've turned my wheel , tried different gears. Still can't get the key to turn back. Is there something else I can do or am I going to have to tackle the terrible task of removing my steering wheel(which is aftermarket) and replace the switch? Thank you in advance.

There should be a cable that runs from the shifter to the steering column that locks the key out from being turned off if the car is not in park.
