The ignition switch is stuck will not turn
I'm going to answer this question since I don't know how the security system would affect the lock.
If you can get the key out of the lock, you may want to spray some WD40 or other lube in the slot where the key goes.
If that does not help, you should be able to drop the cover from under the steering wheel and disconnect the switch from the lock cylinder.
If the lock is still stuck, it may have damaged tumblers or something may be jammed with the shifter and steering wheel lock.

tap the ignition lock cylinder with the plastic end of a scrwedriver (with the key removed). then insert the key and try to start. Try this several times. If you get it to turn immediately replace the igntion lock cylinder. The cylinder needs to be in the on position in order for the lock button to be depressed so that the cylinder can be removed from the housing.
If you still can't get it to turn than you will have to drill out the lock button in order to get the old lock cylinder out. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you have some experience and understand what you are doing.
The lock button can be accessed by removing the lower steering column cover.

SOURCE: How do you un stick
you can temporarliy "un-stick" the ignition by inserting the key as you would you start the vehicle. then tap the end of the key a few times with the palm of your hand almost as you are trying to drive it in further. this generaly works. but keep in mind that the only fix is to replace the ignition lock cylinder. and make sure that the key is not twisted or bent because that could also inhibit the key from turning properly

Hi,
First of all, I take it you are using your seatbelt.
There is a small micro switch in the bottom of the seatbelt plug.
Check that it`s still in place. It`s only a contact breaker switch.
You could unwire it to stop the annoying light, but will need to fix it for the next MOT

I had the same problem today - January 30th 2009. what i did was spray
some WD40 in the cylinder and sprayed the key with WD40, then inserted
the key in the ignition, then "lightly" and i mean "lightly" tapped the
end of the key with the end of a wrench (my brass hammer was not in
reach) 3 or 4 times. removed the key and then inserted again - then
"all was well. the ignition turned, car started, and i will now wait
till the next time something goes wrong with the car...

One long bolt at the top - requires a 7mm socket to remove the bolt. The light housing will pry out with a screw driver. There are three ball and socket type connectors that hold the housing in and I just pryed off the plastic housing carefully and "balls" pop out of the sockets. Finally, I was replacing the faded plastic housing and it came with a new wiring harness. It's impossible to reach the connector to use the new wiring harness that comes with the new plastic light housing. So just use the existing wiring harness with the new light assembly.
