EEK! Ignition is stuck and car willna' start

[cobram at juno.com]

I have to buy some shielded cable for my computer, I swear my Audi's are
monitoring my list activity through the factory cell phone antenna.  

Today is street cleaning day, had to move the 200TQA, turn the key, idiot
lights on...no starter action.  Turn ignition back...idiot lights still
on.  Of course it's raining like a $*&$er outside.  Left the ignition on
and get down and wet (did I mention it's raining like a ...oh, yeah, I
did) jumped the starter with a screwdriver (large hot wire nut to a bit
of stripped red solenoid wire) and got her running.  Luckily pushing in
hard on the key shut everything off.  

Hopefully it's just the switch.  At least it's not one of the
V8Q's....THAT was a fun ignition cylinder to replace.
