Yeah, somebody changed it out.
You should be able to get an ignition cylinder with the correct keying from the dealer of a good locksmith.
In a nutshell, you take out the driver's seat and remove the console. Then there's a small lead cap on the 7 O'clock position (relative to the lock cylinder - 6 O'clock position is towards the rear of the car) that you drill or punch through to push in a pin to release the lock. IIRC, you turn the key to a position between OFF and ACC to fully release the cylinder while you push in the pin. But don't quote me on that.
If you have a Bentley manual, it has a decent set of instructions for removing the lock cylinder along with a picture showing where to insert a nail to push in the pin holding the lock cylinder in. It's a little easier to remove the lock cylinder in your case, because your key works.
