Next time it does that, jiggle the key and see if that affects how long the gauges are affected.
If there are many keys or heavy charms on your key ring this may cause excessive wear and misalignment of the contacts.
If using only the key allows the car to start normally then the ignition switch is probably worn out and will need to be replaced.
