You can take your current locks to a lock smith and they can rekey to fit your key for the ignition . I used rekey them when I worked at a dealership.

As far as I know you can have all your locks rekeyed other than the ignition(someone probably can do that also) but you have to take or have someone remove them all. I used to just remove them and the locksmith rekey to the key I wanted it to fit then later did them myself. They just take the lock apart put in the key you want to use and change the tumblers until they are flush. If you have broken locks as you say the key doesn’t work in the driver’s door you may need a new lock.

Is that when the door is open? Does it do that when you're inside with the door closed? That's a FEATURE to prevent you from locking yourself out. Try holding the door-latch open while you press the lock button.

it only happens on the drive side side with the door open. driver lock works just fine if i lock from the passenger side.

Like I said, that's a FEATURE - try holding the driver's door latch-lever open...
