Default help ignition problem

Ok my 2004 neon automatic only once in a while does this, I put the key in and go to turn it, it wont move almost like the steering is locked but its not. I wiggle it fast and take the key in and out fast and it finally turns. It is weird any thoughts...Thanks in advance guys

When I bought my 2000 the ignition key cylinder was flopping around and I would have to play with it at times to engage the starter. I replaced the cylinder lock and a plastic box that connected the wires from the cylinder to the rest of the car. After that I had no problems engaging the starter and running the car.
