The LOCK CYLINDER (NOT the igntion switch) commonly fails on these, and acts just as you describe. To repair it (replace the lock cylinder) the steering wheel, and locking plate mechanism must be removed to access a screw that holds the lock cylinder in place.

You might want to check with a locksmith, and get an estimate on replacing it on-site, and comparing that to a tow to the dealer's. (If the locksmith works on those.) ... I was just going to post this, and realized the 1995 column is quite a bit different than the 1994 and down, but I believe the advice above is still probably accurate, and that it is likely the lock cylinder itself rather than the switch.
