Default car still wont run

did column lock, cleaned all gounds, cleaned ignition switch, new battery, even went as far as to have the VAT system locked out of the computer. car starts and then shuts off, leave the key in the start position and the car stays running. im at my wits end with this. HELP

the only way it will stay running is to have the key in the full clockwise start possition and hold it there. the car shuts off when you let the key go to the run possition
