You shouldn't be able to turn the key to the off position and remove it without hearing/feeling that click/clunk. Also, if you don't feel/hear theis, your steering wheel is probably also not locking. The next time you get in the car, tru and turn the wheel without the key in teh ignition. If the steering wheel will turn and not lock, the ignition lock cylinder is your problem.
