Ignition stuck

My ignition is stuck in the ON position in my truck lucky that it happened when I got home. The past few weeks on and off it has been hard to turn the key to the off position. When it was stuck on the on position I popped the hood and had to pull the wire off the injection pump to shut it off. I pulled the ignition cylinder out and that works fine its what the cylinder goes into that's jammed anybody know what this part is called? or is there a way to unjam it?
