Ignition Key House fell off

PLEASE HELP. I have a C 200 Kompressor W203-2001, suddenly the ignition key house (where you insert the ignition key to start the engine on to) collapse. Basically, I still can insert the key to the house but have to reach deeper inside the dashboard. At the moment the ignition key house is inside the dash board about 4 cm, and I can still reach it but if it falls deeper I would not be able to start because out of reach.

Any of you have a similar problem. I would expect that it will cost me a fortune because to fix it i have to take out the dash board.

PLEASE HELP

Something Slow
never happened to me but pictures would be great... i think u might have to get behind the dash to see if a clip or something is broken.

2002 C230 Kompressor coupe, white
Mine did this yesterday, first the ring fell off then the ignition sunk in....
Did you end up getting this fix/figure out the problem? It looks as though it was held up by the ring? Im worried that it will sink in further before i can make it to the dealership...
