Default Help my car doesn't wanna start!!

I have a 94 integra and when i try to start my car sometimes it doesn't wanna turn on. Now i dont know if its my starter or my ignition switch. It's like i have to wiggle my ignition switch to certain spot in order for my warning lights to come on. At first it wasn't a problem but now it's starting to become real sensitive to hit the spot for the warning lights to come on. Also the car starts us fine but when i let the key go, it just shuts off on me. Any tips or advice would be appreciated thanks

That's usually what it is when the car doesn't stay on when the key is let back to the on position right?

That's usually what it is when the car dies AND the dash lights all go off at the same time and you need to wiggle the switch to find the "sweet spot" where the dash lights come back on again.

And that's my run-on sentence for the week.
