I'm having to spend more time giggling the key in the ignition switch to get it to finally turn. Is there any way to use my old keys in a new switch?

there are probably thousands of combinations. you "may" luck out but I doubt it. take the sw. to locksmith and get a new key made.

If your old keys works ok in the doors and the key has sentimental value just have a lock smith change new switch to match old key. If no sentimental value have locksmith match the door locks to the new keys and switch. Better yet try to find a complete lockset that does both the doors and ignition.
