Ignition key cylinder - does not turn to 'Lock' but....

stops at 'Park'. Just happened last night, previously went to 'Lock' but did not need to be in Rev to be pulled out...
I know this topic has been beaten to death, Bentley has very limited info on pulling cylider but no ops tips or diagrams, I've searched the archives for tips on pulling the cylinder and cleaning, etc, but my questions are these:
1) the key turns to 'park' and comes out of the cylinder but leaves lights and radio, etc on...I can turn off the lights and detach the faceplate to kill the radio. Left the car parked o-nite and started fine this am...OK to leave as-is for foreseable future or are some systems energized that can cause damage to charging, etc systems?
2) In all of the dissasembly tips, I did not see anything about gears or pins that may be broken or trapped to cause this particular issue, more about no turning or gunked up cylinder, etc. Is there a pin *below* cylinder that rides in a channel that could be blocked, preventing the full rotation to the left?
3) Anyone with same issue that has solution other than pulling ign switch and replacing cylinder?
Thanks, Skip
