In my scan of messages here and on the new forum, I read of an owner that cannot get the key to the accessory position. I had this problem and I think I can help him. I didn't flag the post and now I can't find it.

Matt, is this the message you are referring to? It was lost in a long
'other thread:

A few years ago, the key cylinder gave up and I ordered a new one from
JimK. Everything works normally, but I lost the ACC position because the
cylinder would not turn in reverse to the ACC position. It's on my list to
replace the key cylinder but I've not had a problem using the "run"
position to run the air pump till I can drive away. I would sooner suspect
that my problem is with the slider switch on the steering column than
elseware. But I am too ignorant of what happens downstream of that switch
to know. If you suggest that nothing happens downstream of the ignition
switch on the steering column except the starter solenoid and ignition
circuitry then I'll go find the correct key cylinder, adjust (or replace)
that
