sounds like a lock cylinder problem from what you are telling me but if you have a vats key try this first, get your spare key or if you dont have a spare have another one cut and see if the same problem occurs, sometimes the chip goes bad or has a bad connection.

there are a lot of problems with the vats system but that is on getting it started it sounds like your problem is in the ignition switch i would replace the ignition switch if i were you
