Careful not to confuse devices here. The ignition switch is different from the key cylinder switch. "Play" would be part of the key cylinder switch, which operates the ignition switch. If playing with the key causes momentary operation, that could still be the ignition switch causing the issue. You won't want to replace the key cylinder switch thinking that's going to fix the issue.
