1999 E320 Ignition Issues

My father is experiencing issues with his E320. Most times he will put the key in the ignition, turn it and nothing happens. He will than remove the key, put it back in the ignition, turn it over and it starts. Do you know what would cause this issue?

Doesn't sound like a key or ignition module, because you can turn the key--what isn't happening is that voltage is not being switched to the starter, starting the car or voltage is getting to the starter and it just isn't starting---I would put the car on a lift and see if I could repeatedly start the car directly from another voltage source!!
