Started my cab this evening (engine was still hot as i'de not long come back from a run) and after a couple of seconds there was a horrible short "screetching" sound from the left hand side.
I turned it off straight away - restarted the engine but noticed that the key stuck in postion 3 and only went to position 2 when i turned it (although i couldn't feel it click).
Am i right in thinking that the noise was most likely the starter motor still working as it was in position 3?
 
YES.
I once had that problem on a brand new car (Ford) the first day I had it. In that case it was the second key and after I had burnished the burrs of the key all was well.
