Sounds like you need to replace the ignition key cylinder

I can say with absolute certainty that when I was a kid growing up, I was able to pull the key out and start the car at one time or another to the following vehicles: 1979 Malibu 1980 Plymouth Caravelle 1988 Plymouth Voyager 1980's Plymouth Volare (cant remember the exact year) 1988 Ford Taurus 1986 Mustang 1988 Mustang 1981 Camaro Those above are cars I personally was able to pull the key out or not use it at all to turn the ignition and start the car without the key. Some later years they incorporated a "pull to release" or "push to release" key feature to some columns but it wasnt fool proof. So yea, you're not alone. When key cylinders get old and worn out, they tend to do this, especially when the old 60's-90's keys were so small and thin.
