You will have to get a locksmith to help you, or take it to a dealership. The new key and switch will have to be the same type that was originally on the car(smart key,or pass key system with the 'chip, or resistor in the key). The on board computer will have to be reprogrammed to accept the new key and switch. Most locksmiths these days have the capability to handle the GM security system, and may be less expensive than the dealership.
Had same problem on my 2000 Impala and my 2001 monty carlo on the impala it was the locking mechanism from the transmission was slightly worn there is an adjustment under the dash to lengthen the pin slightly. The monty I had to change the ignition switch behind the key. U can try alittle light oil or WD 40 in the key hole it may help. Ignition and switch not cheap. It is not too hard too change if your a little mechanical and have a couple hours.
