Parts are cheap and the fix is easy, if you're a contortionist.

It involves going up under the dash and replacing the ignition switch. I got mine from Napa for around $15. Remove the plug, and two small set screws hold the switch in place. They're the trickiest part. If you don't have a jeweler's screwdriver set, you'll need one with a small standard screwdriver.

With out the key returning all the way back to run after starting, headlights and wipers are disabled. Parking lights, however, will function. A simple counter-clockwise light turn of the key enables them. If that is your symptom, a new switch is the fix.
