I'd like to chime in here as well. Replaced the plastic end portion of my ignition switch about two weeks ago after a week of having a hard time getting the key out of the switch, then finally hearing that teltale sound of plastic "CRACK" as I put the key in one morning.
One of the posted DIYs recommended to cut most of the handle end of a shorty, flat head screwdriver to allow for more room to get the two end screws out. I ended up doing this twice. The first screwdriver I cut ended up with the shaft rotating in what was left of the handle so that was a useless waste of a screwdriver, old as that tool was. Luckily I had a similar size screwdriver, cut that and it worked fine.
