Bad ignition switch. It is at the base of the steering column. Not the key part. Look down there and unplug it. The engine will quit then. Replace it and you will be good to go.

Have you checked the wiring to the ignition? sounds like like one of the wires is bad or disconnected. Or a bad ignition switch
