I would agree with that.
I'd say 90% of us can pull the key out with the IGN on aswell

Do you have a bundle of key's on your keyring or just the mini key ? Mini ignition locks don't like much weight pulling on them so a bundle of key's can damage them quickly .

I had the same problem. Key was not loose but the whole barrel was, had to wiggle it a bit before the ignition light would come on and then it would start.

Replaced the outer part of the switch with another second hand one and put in old barrel so I could keep same keys. Been fine since.
