You need an ignition switch. Go to your dealer and they can take care of it in less than an hour. If you want a more detailed description on why you need a switch, do a search. This has been brought up several times.

To change your ignition switch, take a flat blade screwdriver and pop off your tilt lever, then, place it between the upper and lower plastic column cover and pop the covers off.
The switch is in lower left corner of column, there are 2 holes that you stick a small pick or something similar to disengage the locing tang. Then you pull it down and out. Here is the tricky part. There are teeth on the switch that are rotated by teeth in the column when you turn the key. If you don't have it adjusted perfectly you will leave some things powered up after you take the key out, draining your battery. So if you try it yourself, heed that warning.
