Default stumped on ignition

So my problem started one night at work went to lunch stopped at the gas station turn the Jeep off and would not start back my key was sticking in the ignition and having trouble turning I was able to jump the starter terminals to get home and start looking into it I pulled my cylinder lock and tried to clean it with no luck I can get the key to turn to the on position and a little bit past that but its not doing anything except I can hear a click on the passenger side floorboard sounds like a relay I swapped relays around and still couldn't get anything so I swapped the relays under the hood and still nothing tried putting it in neutral to start still nothing I pulled my ignition switch and was able to start it with a screwdriver with the ignition switch off the column. Is my ignition switch good? Should I look into replacing the actuator pin or the cylinder lock or all of it I would appreciate any ideas
