Ignition barrel

I know this is going to sound incredibly silly and being female I will probably take some flack for this post, but yesterday I noticed that my ignition barrel has a fair bit of movement. It can be moved up and down fairly freely, now I dont want you all rushing out at waggling your ignition barrels but- has anyone noticed this, and is it normal? It is working ok but I cant remember if it was always like this or not! doh!

I'm not sure that loose is the right word really, the only way I can describe it better hopefully is to say that when you put the key into the ignition your can lift it up and down in a lever motion. You can put you finger tip in it and it will move up and down and it makes a slight rattling noise. Had a look at hubbys Focus and his ignition barrel doesnt move one little bit.
