Does this happen with just one key or both keys?

You may want to check http://www.alldata.com
website to see if there has been any recalls related to this issue. I know
that there was a recall related to the 1999 Honda Accord related to
TSB number 02-031 Recall--Ignition switch replacement.
Perhaps the same sort of repair will solve your problem..
