Ignition Switch Not Turning Correctly

DaG nabit! As of yesterday, my ignition switch doesn't allow me to turn it correctly. In other words, I can feel like the spring is misplaced or something. The turning of the key isn't smooth anymore; it's like i have to push in with some force, wiggle it, and then turn it slowly. (err.. wiggle isn't the most appropriate word, but it'll probably get to that point). And to top if off, my lights do not turn on with the engine running!. Actually, I found out that after starting the car, I had to turn the key counter-clockwise just a little bit (about 1cm) until I felt a slight click. Now the lights turn on fine.

Does this mean that I have to buy a new ignition switch with new key???? I'm thinking of opening up, but I have noooo idea where to start!.. PLEASE HELP! BRUCE LEE, Randelneighbor, toolpants, Happy motoring Jim, . anyone please help!

LOL these are the members who I can always recall when coming to this forum! Thanks everyone!
