Do you have a lanyard or heavy key chain? Could be your key moving in ignition.

I would check solenoid and starter. Some cars have a relay between the ignition

Interesting, not a very heavy keychain. Just the car key and maybe 2-3 other key

That sounds like a headache and very pricey for a mechanic to do.
