you could also take your vin number to any honda dealership and have them cut you a new key..... most likely your key is worn and also sticks in the locks as well. dont just get a copy cut at any cheap store the cut will be the same worn down to the nub! get a new key cut that will be cut just like it came brand new!

 

the problem is not with the key, cause he is able to turn the key all the way, the trouble is the switching mechanism inside the ignition, or cut or loosestarter wire on the ignition harness. if everything works when you turn the key, and just not the starter, and you are sure the problem is in the ignition, I can tell you how to do a push button. I did it inmy 05 civic. I'll just tell you the simple way, so you will still need to turn your key to on, cause to do it without a key, is way harder for me to explain over the internet. All you need to do, is tap into the big white wire in the ignition switch (constant +), and the big Black/White wire in the ignition switch (starter wire), and hook it up with a relay and a push button. I drew a diagram, so if you want me to send it to you, send me your email addy.

Here is mine....

 

It just sounds like you need a new starter

yea i agree with import tuner. you need to test your starter wire with a multimeter - its the black/white wire coming out of the ignition cylinder. If your multimeter reads 12 volts when u turn the key to crank position then its most likely your starter then
