1977 240D hard to shut off.

Hi guys, Im sure this is a regular problem here, but I have not found a discussion on it in a quick search.
The car doesn't want to shut off.
I have found the best way to shut the motor off is to raise the rpms with a quick stab to the "gas" pedal and turn the key to the off position.
Otherwise, the motor will kinda "want" to shut off, but doesn't.
My first instinct is the ignition switch may need to be replaced.
The car has 180K on the crate motor. and 300K on the body.
My firend who has a 1983 300D has the same problem with his.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks ...and a great website!!
