Well stink...
Not likely to be the tumbler part - they usually jam up and you cannot turn the key (or remove it).
The only other thing that comes to mind is the cast "pot-metal" mechanism between the actual key "tumbler" and the electrical switch section has cracked or fractured...
Did you test the tumbler section with no electrical switch section attached to the back - could you see the mechanism rotate as the key is rotated?
