Hi, my old 1984 mustang had the same issue, you can get the key off of the ignition once the vehicle is running. what can i do to fix it?
also, is it common the i can open the doors on my truck and get it running using another chrysler key? cause the mechanic gave me the wrong chrysler key when i went to pick up my truck and a week later he called me saying that key was another clients car

Once it gets worn out from use you can either live with it or replace it with new; kinda like an girlfriend.

Like the others have said, your looking at a new lock cylinder housing. At that point you might as well replace the two other lock cylinders on the doors. IMO its stupid to replace one but not the rest, I hate having more than one key for my truck, I hated that about my old 88 Chevy. Buy remaned or new, its up to you, but used parts from a junkyard might have the same problem in a short while down the road.
