If it is stuck on completely so that the engine will not shut off, it is either the key switch or the ignition itself. Depending on the make of car, the electrical part of the switch is either on the key part or lower down on the column and activated with a rod. If the key will not turn all the way back so that you can remove the key, the transmission may not be completely in park. Hold pressure on the shifter and try turning the key.

In my case it was the ignition switch itself had overheated and seized up. Replace the switch (have to lower the column, disconnect the wiring plug from the switch, and remove/replace the switch.) Clean all connections to the switch, make sure they're connected solidly and not heating up again.
