My experience was different. I replaced the lock cylinder when my key started sticking. It did not require a new key. 15 years later and the key goes in and out without a hitch

To be fair to the other posters, I did not have the electrical problems you mention. So it could be the ignition switch, the lock cylinder or both. If you can DIY, then try replacing the switch first and go from there. I had an indie replace my lock cylinder so I don't know if this is a DIY fix also.
