I had a similar problem with a K 5 Blazer.
I would try liberal amounts of WD 40 around and in the ignition switch. I
don't have my book handy, but, it seems that we pulled the steering wheel
to take the pressure off the switch and then pulled the switch. There
may be a pin accessible under the horn mechanism that holds the switch
in.
I do not know if the parts are interchangeable, Pep Boys or any parts
store may have a new switch.
