sounds to me like it could be a faulty ignition switch at the base of the ignition barrel maybe? this happened to mine when i had it and it was fixed under warranty!

do u have a lot of keys/keyrings hanging on your carkey? i did and this caused mine to break!

I'd guess you'd need to check the car has power first (check lights etc.), then the ignition switch. I'm not sure what fuses or relays the ignition system uses. Try a haynes manual or even the manual that comes with the car.
