this isn't just a "run on" deal where the engine runs for a few seconds with the key off. The engine runs strong, with no hesitation. I could drive the car with the key in the off position if it wasn't for the steering lock.

Sounds like your ignition switch may be malfunctioning. Have you removed the electrical portion of the switch and rebuilt it? I think that would be a good place to start. See the first half of this article for details:

Here's a pic of the inside of my switch before being rebuilt, and ultimately replaced. Notice how scorched the contacts are. However, they don't need to be re-plated as suggested in the article above. The disc is solid copper and can be polished.
