The freshly cut key will be sharper and not mate perfectly with the worn ignition switch. You could carefully file down some of the edges and keep test fitting it until it turns.

Another option is to get a used complete ignition and door set from a wrecked Celica, but that is time consuming and labour intensive.

If the locksmith is going to install new tumblers, it may be worth the $100 or so.

Sorry, I don't have an easy solution on this one...
