Sounds like the Bendix spring is sticking.

Take it to a qualified mechanic for repair.

James Clark  could be bad wiring to the starter,  stuck starter solenoid, a bad ignition lock cylinder that keeps the actually ignition switch in the START position as well as a few other things. I’d start with jiggling the ignition lock a couple times in different directions etc. to see if that fixes it (unless you can get to the harness and “hotwire” it that way you bypass the lock totally;-) If that did not change anything, replace the starter/solenoid and see if that fixes it. Here is a schematic that should be identical to your system (depending on exact model/year).

James Clark It seems that the starter solenoid contacts are sticking and not releasing the solenoid, as mentioned the return spring could be broken also.
