I just fought with this last night and you need to put the paper clip back in and make sure it turns counter clockwise past the accessorie pont then mine slid in

Insert the key into the lock cylinder and turn the key to the accessory position. Place the cylinder and key in the switch. Push the cylinder into the switch until it is fully seated, then turn the key to the lock position. Turn the key to check the operation of the lock cylinder.

This is from the Ford Shop Manual.
