if i follow you, the cylinder in the drivers' door lock is seized, but the actual lock mechanism works. try dousing it with wd-40 and use a spare key to try to free it up (don't use your primary key!!). if that doesn't work, i guess the lock cylinder is toast and you will need to remove and service/replace.
do a search on it.

Had to replace mine and just did it with a replacement handle and lock. Therefore, my door lock and key switch lock don't match.
But at least I can lock and unlock the car now. Don
