This sounds like the plastic parts of the electrical portion of your ignition switch are breaking or worn. This is a common issue with these switches and an inexpensive DIY repair if you are handy and flexible.

Is your car experiencing any other electrical problems (air conditioning or dash lights non-functional)? If so, these are also common symptoms associated with a bad ignition switch.
