What you describe actually sounds pretty normal... perhaps your battery needs a charge? GO to a shop and have then check your battery and alternator. If they are good and you are having trouble starting the car then you might have something wrong with the ignition.

The headlights don't work through the ignition switch so they should work no matter where the key is positioned. I think you have a bad ignition switch.
