Hey everybody,
 
I posted to this thread earlier with a link to a YouTube video showing a good workaround.
 
I've think I've now found a "permament" solution (knock on wood). Here's what I did:
 
I removed the cover the bottom cover behind the steering wheel (the cover that houses the igntion system). I noticed that the wiring that hooks up to the cylinder behind the ignition was a little loose. I simply hooked the wires up more tightly and (voila!) I haven't had any stuck key issues since.
 
I realize that this fixed my problem, but may not help everyone elses, but I hope this helps at least one person out there!

make sure there is 12 v. to switch & that the ground wire has connection to - and make sure switch is working correctly.
