If you think it's in the ignition switch area, you may have the famous broken pot metal piece in the column. If you want to try this, take the cover off the steering column. On top of the column there is a rod that moves back and forth with the key. Turn the key to start, and while holding the key, take some pliers and help the rod by pushing it toward the dash. If this makes it start, then you do have the broken piece in the column.
