Is there any way to repair a key switch and a door lock (jammed up) from someone using a screw driver to unlock the steering wheel?
Before anyone says to buy new ones I refuse to buy Chinese locks and key switch. They don't last very long and I would like to keep the originals on my Charger.

It can probably be repaired.  Remove the entire lock mechanism and take it to a lock smith.  If the cylinder is toast it will need replacing but it can be keyed to the original key. 
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Used pieces shouldn't be than pricey on eBay. Empty the tumblers and repack with the tumblers from your damaged locks.

WANT TO BUY:
Looking for a CD by  'The Sub-Mersians'  entitled "Raw Love Songs From My Garage To Your Bedroom"

Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.
