On some of the older models, if the ignition is well worn you can slide the
key in and out rapidly while putting forward force on the key (as in turning
it on to start it) and with some blind luck you may hit just the right spot
and it will turn BUT this is much more common in older GM vehicles than in
Fords. In older GMs it was pretty easy much of the time.
