Screwdriver maybe like the old days

some of these electric interlocks require the brake pedal stepped on for releasing..have you tried that? along with shifting fully into park a few times?

The steering wheel was turned when the key was removed. So when you try to turn on the key, turn the wheel one way and the other way to release the pressure on the key. The key should turn ok.
Hope this helps.

1 Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery using a 1/2-inch wrench. The battery in the 1995 Mustang is located on the driver-side of the engine compartment behind the headlight assembly. Wait 15 minutes to allow the residual charge in the air bag system to discharge and the air bag system to be disabled. This will prevent accidental deployment of the air bags.

2 Remove the steering column trim cover screws, located on the bottom of the steering column cover behind the steering wheel, using a screwdriver. Lower the tilt steering wheel fully. Unsnap the two halves of the trim cover from each other and remove them.

3 Turn the ignition key to the run position. Insert a 1/8-inch punch into the small retaining pin hole, located below the lock cylinder housing, and depress the retaining pin. Slide the old cylinder out of the housing.

4 Turn the key to the run position in the new ignition lock and insert the new ignition lock into the housing. Turn the key to the off position to lock the new cylinder into the housing. Turn the ignition key to the off position and pull on the ignition lock to verify it is securely installed. Reinstall the steering column trim covers. Reconnect the battery and tighten the cable clamp bolt securely.

Most vehicles you have to have power to remove the key from the ignition. It will go in and turn, but not completely turn back to the off position.

Removal & Installation

1. To prevent accidental air bag deployment, disconnect the negative battery cable, then the positive battery cable to allow residual energy in the air bag system to drain.
   
2. Remove the steering column shroud(s).
   
3. Disengage the wiring harness connector from the ignition switch.
   
4. Insert the key into the ignition switch, then rotate the ignition key lock cylinder to the RUN position.
   
5. Remove the two screws attaching the ignition switch.
   
6. Disengage the ignition switch from the actuator pin and remove the switch.
   

To install:
A new ignition switch purchased from Ford will already be set in the RUN position.

1. Adjust the new ignition switch by sliding the carrier to the RUN position.
   
2. Check to ensure that the ignition key lock cylinder is in the RUN position. The RUN position is achieved by rotating the key lock cylinder approximately 90 degrees from the LOCK position.
   
3. Install the ignition switch onto the actuator pin.
   
4. Align the switch mounting holes and install the attaching screws. Tighten the screws to 50-69 inch lbs. (6-8 Nm).
   
5. Attach the electrical connector to the ignition switch.
   
6. Connect the positive, then the negative battery cables. Check the ignition switch for proper function in START and ACC positions. Make sure the column is locked in the LOCK position.
   
7. Install the steering column shroud(s).
   

Is this the one you are asking about?

the ignition switch is the electrical part behind the lock cylinder where the key goes in.

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder
Lock Cylinder Functional
Removal

1. The following procedure applies to vehicles that have a functional ignition switch lock cylinder (11582) and keys. If the key numbers are known, the correct key can be made. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301). For additional information, refer to Section 14-01 .
   

1. Turn the ignition switch lock cylinder to the RUN position.
   

1. Place a 3.17-mm (1/8-inch) diameter wire pin or small drift punch in the hole in the steering column shroud under the ignition switch lock cylinder. Depress the retaining pin while pulling out on the ignition switch lock cylinder to remove it from the housing of the steering column.
   

Installation

1. Install the ignition switch lock cylinder by turning it to the RUN position and depressing the retaining pin. Insert the ignition switch lock cylinder into the steering column housing. Make sure the ignition switch lock cylinder is fully seated and aligned in the interlocking washer before turning the key to the OFF position. This will permit the retaining pin of the ignition switch lock cylinder to extend into the hole of the steering column.
   

1. Using the key, rotate the ignition switch lock cylinder to make sure of correct mechanical operation in all positions.
   

1. Connect the battery ground cable.
