Can't get ignition switch out of dash, bad key

['68 Newtricks]

Hey party people!
Just trying to get some stuff done between work and sleep. I attempted to get the ignition switch out but failed. Since last using the truck, the ignition is hard to turn with the key. Plus, the key is in pretty bad shape. In fact, it's impossible to turn to the left.

If I can't get the cylinder to turn to ACC, so I can push the release button, what's my next step to remove the damn thing? I'm actually looking to replace the cylinder and put a new bezel on, but maybe a sawzall is the proper tool here. I'll just end up buying a new switch.
