My ignition will not turn all the way back to shut the car off it is stuck on the on position. I can start it and it stays started, but I cannot turn it off. I bought a new ignition and I got steering wheel off but I cannot get the key ignition to the off position. Do you have any ideas on how to get this to the off position or do I force it out?
