I bet it's your VATS. Mine acts up every now and then and it does what you say yours is doing.

Mine isn't too bad yet because I can pull the key and put it back in and wiggle the key and it will start up.

I took some sand paper and cleaned the key and tried to clean the ignition and that worked for me.
