Starter problem? Please help

[MaximaGuy719]

This problems happens every 4 to 5 days, when I start my car everything shuts off it doesn't start and my key gets locked in the ignition. All the power goes out because once I do start the car the stereo's memory is reset and so is the clock on my dash meaning there was no power. The odd part of this is that I get the car started by leaving the key in the ignition(as oppose to wrestling it out), closing my door, locking it and then opening it. Once I do this the security icon on my gauge lights up(which is always does when the car is off and the door is open) and I'm usually able to start the car, there have been instances where this has not worked and I have to disconnect and reconnect the battery, this work also.

Anybody know what it could be? The starter? I drive a 89 Maxima

Any input would be greatly appreciated
