I had the same problem and it was the ignition switch. The switch has the spring which makes it return, not the barrel.

The switch cost me $27.10 about 2 years ago. Following the instructions in my Gregory's workshop manual, installing it was easy. I recommend you buy one if you plan on doing your own repairs. Pick one up for around $40.
