The lock is worn and the only solution is to replace it. Often this happens to those that have massive key rings with a lot of weight on them. When driving, the constant weight and swinging motion wears out the lock.

I have the same issue with my '94 Mark VIII and it is not a real problem as that way I can leave it locked while it's running to keep it cool or warm if I need to be out of it for a minute or two.
I wish my Navigator would do the same.
Changing the lock(s) can get a bit pricey if you buy the lock(s) from Ford with the cost of parts, installation and programming. To continue to only have 1 key you will need to replace the door lock at the same time.

Wish my truck would do that. This used to be a standard feature in Jeep CJ's back in the 70's to mid 80's. I beleive it was called an offroad ignition switch. Was made so you could take the keys out while wheeling, rather than having them slapping against the sheetmetal dash.
