I have a 2010 macbook pro 13". Lately my L-type magsafe power adapter has been working on/off. It works well when I push the cord decently hard in to the actual connector. Sometimes it doesn't work and I move it just a little bit and it works. Does anyone else have this problem?

Check out the link for Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters at the bottom of the CHARGING section of the Battery FAQ. Also, for battery, power, or charging issues, you might try resetting the SMC.
The link below should answer most, if not all, of your battery/charging questions. If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend you take the time to read it.
 
Should none of the above options help, take the charger and Mac into a retail store; they should be able to troubleshoot and replace the charger/repair your macbook.
