Default '98 XJ ignition switch? Key cylinder? Problems...

I'm having an issue cranking my car with my key. I have a remote start on the car and the car will still start fine, drive no problem, no check lights. It first started when I would go to turn on the car, I turned the key to on position and no crank. Tried again and it would crank. A couple days ago I would go to crank and it would start but wipers/radio/ac wouldn't work, so I thought it could be ignition switch issue. Shortly after, key wouldn't crank the car at all. I now start with the remote and everything works. Any ideas would be helpfully

I have tried both the new key as well as the factory key both don't work. When I insert the key into the cylinder and door open, no bell, but if I push the key inwards bell sounds.

Did you check the ignition switch to see if the connections are clean and not melted? Also it may be as simple as it needs to be adjusted.
