If you can get the key to turn back into the position that you removed the tumbler in you should be able to remove the whole steering Colum Lock and the Ignition Switch and dissemble all of it and inspect it inside of it. (I recommend this to anyone replacing the Lock Tumbler. I also found that the Ignition Switch although still working had a contact point burned off of one side of it.)
There has been at least 3 members including myself that had the innards of the Steering Colum Lock break internally and it in my case mimicked the lock tumbler issue.
Attached is a picture of part of mine. #1 is a thin actually tubular shaft that goes down to the actual Ignition Switch.
