The key is in the ignition in the on position and will not turn back to shut car off.

If you need to shut the engine, you can pull the coil wire. Watch you don't get shocked. Then you will need to repair the switch.

JUST A THOUGHT
IF YOU HAVE A TILT COLUMN
HOLD THE RELEASE, AND MOVE IT UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES, I'VE FOUND ON A FEW...GETTING IT STRAIGHT IN LINE (AS IF THERE WAS NO TILT) WILL FREE THINGS UP
THIS MAY WIGGLE SOMETHING FREE, AND YOUR KEY MAY TURN
STILL NEED TO GET IT CHECKED OUT!
