ignition switch will not go beyond position one, steering wheel will not get out of detent position, and the transmission cannot be removed from park. The ignition keys two will work in the door. I suspect it to be a faulty ignition column lock but may be wrong. How do I remove the ignition column lock if it is defective? Will I have to drill out the two attachment rivets?

Here are some diagrams to help you change the ignition lock tumbler out. (below) you will need to drill the bolts out or see if you can catch the side with a sharp chisel.
