Default broken ignition?

so basically, i turn the key, and the spring shoots the key forward, trying to start the car after its started randomly, my radio never turns off, and the headlights go on every forth start.. i read that there's a recall for this maybe?

where it says ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH, its refering to this problem? has anyone else experienced this? if i don't pull the key all the way back towards me when turning the engine off, and taking the key out slowly, the ignition locks and i can't get the key inside without sticking a tiny knife into the keyhole and wiggling it for a few seconds. i'm gonna call audi later on today, but i'm just curious if anyone else has dealt with this.
