the lock cylinder could be the problem. if you can not turn the car off all the way, the battery will drain. the constant drain could also explain the hot battery. with out looking at it, that is as much as i can say. feel free to get back to me if you have more questions.

All I can do is tell you I had a problem like that in my car.  The 2 problems were not related.  The battery went dead and the ignition swicth was bad so I had to get both.

You have a short in your system that is why the battery got hot.  You need a mechanic to check for the short.
