Default Key Problem - 1986 500 SL

Hi,
My key is stuck in the ignition - in position 1. It will turn clockwise but won't start but won't turn back to zero so won't come out.
How do I get to the back of the ignition barrel to find what the problem is or remove the barrel?
I have managed to get the dash out but can't see how to get the panel below it out.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't Have the answer, but I would look for a small hole that a paper clip will fit in. I think you can turn it to the left and pull the cylinder out. -This is what I am thinking.

The other way is to pull out the switch and lock (disassemble it) and replace it with a new one
