Do you hear the fuel pump when you first turn the key? Is the battery completely dead? If you do hear the fuel pump when the key is turned to the on position and assuming the battery is ok, turn the key to the on position and then under the hood take a large screw driver and cross the battery post on the fender well solenoid to the starter post on same soleniod. Before doing this make sure you have the tranny in park if automatic and neutral if manual (you will have to bypass the neutral safety switch near the top of the clutch pedal under the dash) and the wheels chocked/emergency brake applied! This will at the very least get the engine to turn over and if it is just a bad ignition switch the engine should start, although I'm not sure there may be some wires going to the ECM that are switch on/off by the igntion switch also.
