I take the key out of the ignition the car stays on. I have to disconnect the battery to turn it off. Please someone help me this is kicking my ass.

You press the tab on one side and it clips out. Start the car and after you shut if off, just unplug the switch. If the car stops, you need a new switch...

Try to lubricate the ignition with some graphite with a small amount of Liquid Wrench. It should work. 95 Contour GL. Bought new. BAT Sway Bars/Pioneer CD/Koni Rear Struts/Mobil Fluids.
