Of course you don't want to leave the key in all the time but does anyone know for sure if that will work until I can try the fix for it?
I believe most Crossfires (especially those built before '06) came with an ignition switch that is doomed to failure (internal break). That is why there is so much here on the sticky key fix. Leaving the key in will not fix anything and I've read that doing so, for an extended period, may even foul up your security system.
