OK, I found a video on rebuilding (?) door locks that talked about turning the handle a quarter turn and pulling. Maybe that's what I didn't do?

Ok, that done it. I got the handle out but it must be a reproduction because there are no numbers on the square shaft. My ignition switch is not an original pop-out style and the key for it will fit into the door handle but won't turn the cylinder. I will take the door and rumble seat handle, along with a switch key to the locksmith and see if they can rekey the handles to work with the existing switch key.
