I would check over all your connections, make sure they are tight and corrosion free.

Possible the contacts on your ign. switch (in the steering column) are corroded.

Reads like the contacts on your key ignition switch are either corroded or worn out.

could be bad contact on a ground running to the engine, when i brought my car out of storage i tried turning it over and it would just make a clicking sound, when jumped it would start fine, i figured it out that it was a ground problem when i connected the black terminal on the battery to the engine (alt bracet, valve cover, ect.) and it would start up perfectly.
