Jeff,
there must be built-in protection against going into ST position when engine is already running (this will kill overrunning gear and starter motor). I think you lock is locked into 'running' state and doesn't come back to initial state upon you return the key into OFF position.
Here's what my vote goes for. If this is it then you can get it our and try cleaning the lock cylinder (I'd go with gas [gasoline], but this is very dangerous if you don't really know the calorific value for gas and air-gasoline mixture) and once it is 100% clean let it dry out and oil it with some winter motor oil or tranny oil.
Note that special tools are req'd to get to ignition lock.
