Where is your igniton located? On the steering column? Between the seats? I ask because I had a smiliar problem with my Saab. Try knocking it a bit to shake loose any bits of debris that could be lodged in place.

Other than that, I'd google some instructions on your car and take the assembly apart before having it towed to a repair shop. Worst case is that it shows up to the shop sans steering column. Best case is that you fix it yourself for nothing.
