Can you feel play in the ignition barrel when the key is inserted if you can it,s possibly a worn key or ignition lock. If you can not then it,s possibly the electical switch at the end of the assembly,you will have to remove it and check it.

If not ignition switch ,cold starting problems on that car can be caused by faulty engine coolant temp sensor.
