Have you unplugged the rear electrical ?

From the http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/914_ignition_switch/914_ignition_switch.htm:

Now, unplug the rear, electrical portion of the ignition switch. At this point, you should be able to insert your key, twist, and pull out the entire assembly, as shown in Figure 11.

Hope that helps.
