Question power supply switch stuck

Do you mean the toggle switch on the back of most PSUs? What make/model is your PSU? Have you tried prying it, gently, into the ON position?

PSU: Make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Do you live where there are constant or continual power problems: surges, brownouts, blackouts. The switch and/or other PSU components may have been damaged.

Unlikely that you can do anything because PSUs and internal oomponents are not made to be repairable and attempting to do so is dangerous.

If you do manage to turn on the switch the end results may not be good......

I would suggest returning it (RMA) for replacement/exchange. As previously noted, DO NOT attempt to open the PSU to repair yourself.

Also - please don't attempt to self-repair because a bad repair attempt can cause dangerous voltages and earth faults.
