There is an ignition/shifter interlock linkage between the gearshift and the ignition lock. Same thing happened to me on my old 84 900T....it cost around $120 10 years ago to replace the linkage, but if I had it to do over again I would simply defeat the linkage between the ignition key assembly and the shifter. It sounds like your ignition key is simply jammed by the stuck linkage. Remove the linkage.
But only if your LB is smart enough not to try to start the car in gear....it can now be done with the linkage removed.
Some people like to put a starter button on the dash....there is often a vacant spot over near the foglight button (imagine hitting it instead of the foglight....)
