Default Key wont turn off

Brought my xj out of storage, drove it to work and the key wont go to the lock position. I know the switch is bad since u can take the key out in any position but now it wont go to lock. Its a 93 auto. Cant figure it out. Any ideas??

spray a little wd-40 or any penetrating fluid at a time in the key hole and slowly work the key back and forth ...had to do this to my grand daughters....and then changed the ignition switch....good luck
