The place you stick the ignition key into is really just a lock cylinder with a rod attached to it. The rod runs down the steering column to the real electrical ignition switch, which is located on top of the steering column, often blocked (on purpose) by the brackets for power brake and/or steering column support. If you are sitting normally in the driver's seat, feet on the pedals, the switch is located over your shoe laces. Replacement of the ignition switch often involves lowering or removing the steering column. Remember to unhook the negative battery terminal before starting work. The switch is hard to get to, in order to discourage car thieves.
