I think every owner will tell you that if you unbolt the ignition switch from the key way you can use a screw driver to turn it to start your car. I think there is something else in the mix. Try touching the hot lead to the battery bolt on your starter if it turns then switch the ignition switch on and see if it will start. If not, then you need to look else where.
