sounds like the ignition barrel is buggerd
probably need a new one, about £15 plus fitting
ps. check and make sure your hazard light switch hasnt been messed with, this can cause igintion problems on older corsas

ignition barrels can be funny on the older corsas.
I once drove my car for an hour with the key stuck half turned and only noticed when my wipers didn't work.
