Force breaks things, finesse does not. These require finesse.

You have a couple of options, the cheapest being the fix Savannah referenced above.

If you want, you can get a used ignition switch with the key from Paul Grant.

Trying to get a new key to match your existing tumblers would require going to the LR dealership and that is the more expensive path.
