Had the exact same problem with my road going mini, its a worn ignition, i just replaced the ignition barrel complete, not expensive and ensured it was a little harder to steal.
A local guy had recommended that i went to the older form of ignition with the key in the middle of the dash and use a button on the floor or get a horn button, but i wanted to keep the ignition lock as a deterent.
Hope you get yours sorted ok, and as yours runs ok once its started the same as mine, it sounds like a similar thing.
