When you switch from "ON" (II) to "START" (III) the key does not return
to the "ON" position, but rather keeps running the starter, and when the
car fires, you have to turn it back manually.  This can't be how it was
designed! Does anyone know if this is repairable? Can the switch be
dissassembled?  I would be greatful for any help."

Isaac,
Try using some key or lock lubricant. Any locksmith or Hardware store will 
have something (no brand mentioned to save bandwidth from future 
dissertations on types, quality, what its called in Lithuania, manufacturing 
processes, or possible Ozone depletion from a specific lubricant :-) ) That 
and a little use should return it to normal.
Good luck,
