The purpose of that switch is to prevent the engine being started while in gear - when the switch is operating correctly, the engine will only start while in the park or neutral settings. You would not want your vehicle to lunge forward while the engine is turning over. With a manual transmission you should be able start the engine in any gear as long as the clutch pedal is fully engaged.
