I had the very same problem, it with the ignition key, get a locksmith, he will get the whole cylinder out and fix the ignition. Not all locksmiths can fix this, you need to call them and ask them if they can fix these kind of ignition keys.
I spent $200 for fixing it. The problem in my car was the first pin was screwed up.

BTW i think the first pin in your head is screwed up not your cylinder so don't tell me to shut up.
Also i've replaced a few of those myself just FYI so i did see the problem.
I am sure a locksmith could Re&Re your pins. It's their job after all

Moving your car you could but just back and forth not actually starting it. If you wanna move it off the driveway there is a shift lock button on top of your gear shifter. It's got a cover remove it and just push a small screwdriver through that hole to get it out of park. So no P/steering
Can't start it though
