Default Ignition Switch Problem!

I was parking my car today and when I went to turn the car off, It wouldn't shut off. I turned the ignition switch back and forth trying to get it to cut off. I went and bought a new ignition lock switch and I still have the same problem. The cylinder twists back and forth without turning the car off, it will start though. Any help or ideas would be great!
