Okay, last night I was concerned that I couldn't access the battery compartment to put a tender on the battery and with being unable to switch off the lights, the battery was going to be dead by morning.
More out of frustration than anything else, I took the mallet I'd been using to tap on the switch housing (in the hopes of loosening up the tumblers if that was the problem) and beat down on the key. Voila! It went in far enough as to engage the frunk latch release and I was able to hook up the battery charger. Then, it occurred to me the lights had gone off; the mechanism had become unjammed and the switch had returned to the 'off' position!
I tested it a few times and the key did turn the ignition on and off just like normal. Depressed the key and it opened the frunk and the seat - even easier than it had ever done before!
So, for now, the bike is back to being fully operational and I don't need to rush into an expensive repair (although I'll definitely replace the switch before any long trips).
In the Navy, we used to jokingly say, when confronted with an obstinate piece of electronic equipment that wasn't yielding to normal troubleshooting; "you're not using a big enough hammer". Never thought for a moment it might have some merit!
So, when all else fails 'use a bigger hammer'
