You aren't out of the woods yet Jason, don't leave it like that or the contacts can arc and heat the switch, to such an extent that parts of it can melt and prevent you from turning the key, take the main load from somewhere else via a relay, just using the ignition to switch the relay.

I was going to go and get a new ignition switch from the dealer tomorrow and fit that.

I'd suggest you take a closer and more serious look at the post I've just quoted here as you could end up spending good money chasing bad otherwise.
Living as we do in a place where air/con gets used on a regular basis, we have found this to be a constant problem due to the amount of load that passes through the ignition switch.
New switches don't come cheap nor are they all that easy to fit but by replacing it, you are not necessarily fixing the problem as much as removing a symptom which will come back to haunt you in time.
The mod shown above is a permanent cure.
