K11 Ignition Barrel/Switch Fault

My K11 2001 1.4 SE has a faulty ignition key switch in that after starting the engine, the key wont return to the "engine running" position, so the starter motor is still rotating. To stop it I have to manually turn the key back to the "running" position. I guess that the barrel is worn and the springs are weak or broken.
Nissan dealers tell me that the steering lock-set is no longer available, i.e. obsolete.

Does anyone know where I can get an ignition barrel? If I got a second-hand one (with key) from an auto dismantler, how would I have the key re-programmed to my car?

Any tips will be much appreciated.
