The ignition switch disconnects from the round bezel with a spring-loaded bayonet connector. This is similar to the turn signal lamps. You have to press the body towards the dash and turn it a little. It can be stubborn.
There is a button on the side of the light switch, which when pressed, allows the knob and shaft to be pulled all the way out.

Disconnect the battery our you may light yourself up. Lots of hot wires in that location.

Timely post, I believe I lost a fuse. My radio and interior lights are not coming on.. are they on the same one? Is this the best method for getting to them?..just pulling the whole switch from the dash?

Here is a pic of the ignition switch. Notice the big spring that you have to push against to get it to turn. Notice the little bump in the top left corner. There is another on the opposite side. These two bumps line up with the bezel and twist into place.
Here is the bezel where you can see where the two bumps in the ignition switch line up.
