The car sounds like it either needs an adjustment to the parking pawl which is inside the transmission or it needs the parking pawl replaced, that is IF the transmission is firmly in park. It can be that the grearshift itself needs adjusted.

All cars will roll a little, but anything great should require attention. This symptom has nothing to do with the ignition UNLESS the car isn't really all of the way into park.

BTW you should ALWAYS use the parking brake!
