I can almost guarantee that you need a new ignition gear set. There is a slot in the bottom of the key cylinder. It fits over two small fragile tabs on the top of the gear that engages the ignition switch. If you force it, the tabs snap off and you are not turning anything but the key cylinder itself. You need to pull the whole shifter housing out of the car to fix that. No small task. As a temporary workaround, you can make an octopus from another ignition switch and just connect that to the wires under the floor console that are connected to the switch in the car. Turn the octo-ignition switch with a flat bladed screwdriver or a piece of popsicle stick stuck in the end of it.
