The problem with a junkyard lock barrel is that you need the key to get the barrel to work! Additionally, it won't match your exterior lock barrels.

It sucks, but you're going to end up at the dealer ordering a new ignition barrel. It's expensive, but it's often the only option.

If you want a cheap, temporary fix, unplug the ignition switch harness. Buy a new ignition switch electrical component and plug it in (I think it's like $30 bucks or so). It can be operated via a screw driver.

you can also check with www.shokan.com. If you give them the info they need they may be able to match the ignition to your existing key. I am going through this right now.
