Ignition Switch Problems of Mercury Grand Marquis

This is a concern and I am wondering, if it should in fact be a complaint. I purchased a 2002 Mercury marquis on June 12th of 2003. I was assured this, as other autos had been checked out and in good order. I am now noticing the ignition key sometimes does not turn when I am trying to start the car. Equally important, I ran a carfax report and discovered on 11/18/02 this car had 27,262 miles. When I purchased it, and because of the mileage, which at that time was 27,279 I was assured this was a good car. I find now, that it was not the retired, senior citizen who wanted a new auto trade in, but this was a rental car from burlinggame, CA. Now I am wondering if I should be concerned this car was sitting for 8 months and thus only had 17 miles more in June than in November? or be suspect about the odometer being rolled back? it just doesn't seem accurate a 2002 would only have 17 miles more in 8 months from Nov. 2002 to June 12, 2003. Thank you.

My ignition key would not come out of the ignition switch with the engine off and the lever in the park position. It took me the better part of 10 minutes of rocking the steering wheel back anfd forth before I could get the key out. Also, one I got the key out and started the engine, and then shut it down. At this time the key came out when I put the lever in park, but the steering wheel would not lock.
