This is what's happening:  When you take the key out, you're engaging the 
steering wheel lock thus creating a ground for the horn.  When you start the 
car the wheel lock disengages, just breaking the ground with the steering 
column.

I would think that you're problem is most like the ground strap that is 
supposed to exist between the upper steering column and the lower.  Make 
sure it's there... also, you should also have a ground connected to the 
grease fill bolt on your steering rack as well.

I had the same issue.. it took me days to figure it out because the ground 
strap on the upper steering column "looked" like it was installed correctly, 
but really looped back on itself.

Good luck,
