Can a car start when the key is released?
I drove it a few days ago and went to start it the other day and it will start while the key is in the start position and the starter is engaged. However when I release the key it stalls.
When do you release the key from the starter?
Instead or releasing the key and letting the internal spring turn the key to “Run”, you only release the key part way to the “Run” position. Just until the starter is disengaged.

However, as soon as you let go of the key, the engine turns off. If you hold the key in the start position the car continues to run indefinitely (no problems, except a tired arm/hand from holding the key.) We managed to drive it home this way. Car alway starts without any difficulty.

What causes a car to stall when the starter is released?
You are getting voltage through the starter (Key in Start Position), but not through the regular ignition via the Ballast Resistor. You may have a broken wire, or a bad ballast resistor.
