my experience, which may be dated now, was that they could get an order for a new ignition lock within a couple days.
The new lock will come with a new key, just so you know, and yes if they order by vin it will be the same key cut as original.
I found the easiest way to deal with this is to remove the upper steering column and do the dirty work on a bench. Lots of arguments for and against various ways of doing this job, there are various ways that have been developed and tried, but ultimately it was less headache and hazard to other parts of the car to just remove the column.

PS and besides the lock you will need at least the lock housing and I'd recommend replacing the ignition switch (electric part) since you will have it in your hands.
