94 Civic DX starting problem

Have 94 Civic DX (100,000mi) and parked car for the night, everything working fine. Went to start car next morning and car would not start. It will turn over (as if it will start) but once I let go of key (fall into on position) it will shut off. If I hold key in start position, car stays on. Anyone has idea, please let me know. Thanks.
