This was the case with the old swith and the new switch. I skimed through all the posts on this thread and I didn't see this exact problem.
Do you think I got a bad ignition switch (it was just the metal part that the key fits in, the auto part store called the part "ignition switch") or do you think there is something else wrong?

You need a new ignition switch, has nothing to do with the key, it is electrical. What you replaced was the key assy?
