It isn't clear to me from you description what your problem is, but possibly you may need to know that you should keep in mind that on your '93 there is a thin, steel cable (like a bicycle's handbrake or a 10-speed's shifter) that runs from the floor shift to the ignition key switch. That is why you can't turn the key all the way (to remove) without first putting the car's shift into park.
Hope this helps.
