perhaps try unbolting the ignition switch from the lower steering column and phisically sliding it through its poitions with a small pin punch.

If i put my battery charger directly to the starter and turn the key it will crank over but not start and all of the lights and everything works just fine so i don't think it is the ignition switch because it wouldn't crank if it was
