Sounds to me like your ignition switch is going bad.

I had a similar thing happen to me the other day right after I started the
car.  Once it started, I took off, and as I looked down I noticed the oil
pressure light was on.  Right before I totally freaked out, I noticed every
other light on the dash was on, too, so I turned the ignition switch back a
little and they all went out.

I haven't had the problem since, but figure I'm probably due for a new
switch soon...
