Some weird stuff

Ok my key is weird.. if you touch the key cylinder (where you put the key in) it will make a sound as if you left the key in.. its all pretty loose.. anyway lately i turn the key and all the lights and stuff come on but when I turn all the way.. nothing... doesn't even try.. I turn a few more times and eventually it starts... now it only takes a few tries to maybe get that going.. if I drive it around an all i probably would get it to start in a try or two.. maybe three.. but when the car has been sitting all day while at work I go out and it will take me like 5 minutes to start it.. I pump the gas.. brake.. etc.. then about 5 minutes later after turning the key and turning the key it might decide to start... i hit the steering wheel once (i was mad) and the left turn signal came on and wouldn't go off.. a few minutes later I hit it again (frustrated it wouldn't turn off) and it turned off and the car would start.. it did this same thing the day before but I didn't have to really hit the steering wheel.. instead I just pumped the gas and waited like 5 minutes... so my question is.. is my lock cylinder loose.. ignition switch?.. or can it be as bad as my starter going out?

Maybe the main connector in the steering column is loose.
