Default C2 Ignition switch

Ok, so I know you can pull the key out with the car started.
But, it is not supposed to pull out to the far left I believe.
I can pull my key out now matter what position it's in.
I replaced the actual key part of the cylinder.
I tried finding a thread on this but it seems one just comes up for people not knowing it's set up from the factory to pull the key out when it's started.
I'm guessing it must be the part of the ignition switch that the key cylinder goes into?
My concern is of course if you jiggle it back and forward with no key, you can get it to click to start and go.

What year? There were three different ignition switches during the midyear era. The key removal thing is described in your owner's manual.

Early 1963. Yes, I read the manual. that' show I know it should not come out in certain positions.
And, you should not be able to jiggle it back and forward from the lock position to get it started.
