Have you tried making sure it was in park? I'm not saying that's the problem, but I know it's common with these cars when the shifter bushings get old.

I have an '85 300D TurboDiesel. I could be wrong about it being the neutral safety switch, I thought that was what kept the key from turning when it wasn't in park or neutral. However, even if it's not the neutral safety switch, this is a common problem with the key not turning.
