Assuming you are talking about the screw that holds the ignition switch into the "barrel" that is on the instrument panel, did you rotate the switch after you got it into the barrel? One screw (I think it's the top one?) goes in and then the switch rotates a little, which exposes the hole for the second screw (I think it's on the outside of the switch?).
