Jammed Ignition Switch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Last night I had the key turned backwards listening to the stereo. When I was done, I turned the key forward to start it and move the Burb. The switch jammed after I moved it forward. The switch is in the off position. It will not move at all. To start it, I moved the HEI power wire to a constant hot lead on the fuse panel and jumped the starter. Is the battery still getting charged this way?? And does anybody know how to "unjam" the switch??
