Ignition switch failures???

After a long winter's rest my Boxster is finally back in service. However, each time I try to use it I'm having a NO START issue as the ignition switch randomly does not kick over the starter. If I try the switch 10-20 times while moving the clutch down and up and jiggling the steering wheel and the key it finally desides to work and turns the starter motor. I have not spent too much time with it yet, as after 9 mo of not driving it I rather drive than fiddle with it at the moment!!! But it's getting ready to abandon me somewhere on a rainy day, so I'd better find out what's wrong soon.

I know that ignition switches are a big problem for these models, so I'm wondering what the usual failure symptoms are before ordering a switch.
