During start up and running the ignition barrel will spontaneously come out of its housing. The engine will stay running but all electrical equipment turns off. This includes power steering plus the steering lock comes on so I can not steer while travelling at speeds. Is there any easy explanation and fix to this.

I feel that the locking retainer for the ignition barrel has failed and the fix will probably be a new barrel and key assembly, best to get a mechanic to look at this first hand to be sure.
