Default 1996 Accord Ignition bad?

My sisters Accord stall on her on the way home from work. Apparently it starts fine but immediately shuts off. If she holds the key in a certain position it will idle nomally. Does this sound like a bad ignition?

Yes it does. Welcome to the forum. If you intend to change it, go to a salvage yard and go practice how to change it. the one at the salvage yard might be a good one also.

I replaced the switch yesterday. That resolved the issue. We picked up a new switch for $42 at the local auto parts store.
