I had a '64 Chevy with this feature.  It was called the valet parking
position.  With the key removed in any position but the "lock" position, the
ignition could be turned on and off with no key, but needed a key to go back
to "lock."  It was a dashboard ignition, that simply made electical
conections, did not lock the steering wheel, transmission, etc.  I have no
idea about old VWs.
