Ignition cylinder problem...

...on an 87190d. The cylinder was sticking a bit when I would turn the key to heat up the plugs, and a quick blast of wd-40 seemed to cure it. A couple of weeks later there is still no sticking, but the mechanism which springs back the key after you start the car seems to be non-existent now (i.e. I have to physically turn the key back to the glow plug-light position to keep the starter from grinding.) I dont really mind doing this but I am wondering if this will eventually lead to a complkete fdailure and what I would need to replace exactly to prevent this, (as I have discovered on this site that there are several parts to an ignition assembly). Thanks, Ben R.
