Just had a similiar forum discussion on this the other day... the switch at the back of the ignition is a common failing item (although I cant see that keeping your car from reving up or shaking)... The switch is a cheap item you can find at Volkswagen/Audi dealer and also easy to change (VW Part number 4A0905849B) :-) If this little unit fails, it seems to cause all sorts of strange issues including being able to spin the key 360 degrees, steering wheel not unlocking etc....
Regarding the battery... once your car is running the alternator should supply all the power required for the engine...
