Try using you spare keys, if you still have problems then check the reader coil connections.

The reader coil is around the ignition barrel. Take the plastic off from around the steering column and they should be easy to find (IIRC they sit at the top) There is a known issue with the wires being too short and Audi sell a modified part now. Adjusting the steering whell normally starts all the problems.

My car A4 petrol did this occasionally,but if you turn ignition off,wait a second or 2,turn it on and wait for all the ignition lights to go off first and `THEN`start the engine it should start.Sometimes you can `beat` the system before it has had time to read the key code.try taking your time b4 starting.
