That's actually meant for your ignition key to get it out of park for towing iirc. But a screwdriver works just was well.
Sounds to me like your tumblers are worn out. The lucky thing is your key is not stuck in the ignition. Then you need a locksmith. You can either change ignition out which just means you will have a different ignition key or you can get a dealer to order you the exact one. I will let you guess which costs an arm and a leg. After that it's a simple repair of removing the lock cylinder and replacing it.
Locksmith will charge right at 300 bones to do the job.
