Noisy Ignition??

When I put the key in and put it on to accesories, I get a weird clicking noise from the front around where the ignition is but more towards the door and the sometime i get like a creaking sound from the engine bay area, this only started to happen yesterday but has not yet effected The way the car starts or anything. Also I had a key in there which was bent(I didnt know it was bent though)could this have caused anything to happen??

Its a 79 SA

Could it be coming from the distribuitor cap? The rotor sometimes makes a clicking sound against the connectors in the cap.

lol got it. It was the wipers someone turned them on and left them on and they were not going up and down but trying to so they were just clicking, fixed it now, I just chucked water over the window and gave a slight push up with my hand and they moved i turned them off and the noise stoped
*wipes sweat away*
Thought something had gone wrong.
