trouble starting the 92

I'm having trouble with having to turn the key sometimes 15+ times before the car turns over and starts
Sometimes it starts on the 1st time (yippee)
Other times I have to flick the key alot--if I hit the tilt steering lever and let the steering wheel fly up the car might come start on the next try--
--I made a new spare key but the same problem exists
--I don't have alot of things hanging from the keychain so the problem is not the "bowling ball hanging from the ignition" thing
When I turn to the start/on position everything powers up (doorlocks lock,radio comes on,clock illuminates,warning lights pop up, and a click but no turn over)
-Do I have to replace the ignition?
--If I do am I going to need a new key?
H E L P please
