ignition key switch

Im having a problem with my ignition. The key doesnt turn back to the off position. It just barely turns back far enough to not be in the on or run position. Luckily, its already messed up so that my key pulls out no matter what position its in, otherwise my key would be stuck in there. Is there a way to fix this or do i just need a new switch? If so, can the new switch be keyed to my current key so i dont have two keys?

The Key Lock Cylinder could be it, but I also have had to change a part in column. I think it is called ignition actuator. It is powder metal and does break.
