Stuck Ignition [saabnet.com]

here's another interesting ignition switch gremlin...We returned from a week's vacation to pick up our 86 spg. The key went in the ignition but wouldn't turn. Then it wouldn't come out. It was hopelessly jammed. I came back the next day and wiggled the key (a spare) until it broke off inside the cylinder. The whole time I fiddled with it I sprayed WD 40 at it. Then I took the biggest slotted screwdriver I had and jammed it in above the key stump. Slowly, I was able to turn the switch clockwise and get the car to start! I let it run for awhile and took it for a spin. I didn't want to shut it off because we were a half hour from home but I finally got up the courage. I was able to turn the switch all the way to the lock position and then remove the key stump with a pair of tweezers. Now the switch works just fine with a key! Problem solved...somehow??
