Sounds like your ignition lock's mangled! I hope it came with a logbook...

I think you'd need someone with the right gear to introduce the key to the car, I doubt your average locksmith would have this (a couple of phonecalls would tell you).

the ignition lock is intact, it didn't come with a log book

You bough a car with no keys and no logbook? Hmm...

Well, ok, the ignition switch, the lights just shouldn't stay on with the key out!
