Assuming the problem is the starter doesn't crank the engine, the ignition switch would not be at the top of the list of suspects. If this was diagnosed correctly as needing a new switch, your options are a new switch, a used one from a salvage yard if there's no anti-theft system involved with it, or to not replace it.
