I had the same problem and it drove me nuts for months. You have to CLEAN the throttle body out. It collect dust/carbon and it gets plugged up. Its the part with the metal butterfly that opens and closes when you step on the gas. The reason why you car starts when you give it gas is because the pedal forces this butterfly flap to open. You can clean this by yourself they sell spray can cleaners at most part stores.

Could be a problem with the cable to the shifter. The shifter is supposed to be in park to lock the ignition switch and remove the key.
Could also be something jammed in the lock cylinder.

My 04 Grand prix gt will start then after sitting a while will not start i have to push the gas for it to stay started i just got this car and it only has 56k miles on it.

A fuel pressure test should be performed as I suspect the fuel pressure regulator is leaking fuel into the vacuum line causing the engine to flood on restart.
A drop in fuel pressure would confirm this.
