The former case can be handled as in the following example:
\version "2.10.0"
\relative c''{
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbol = #'key-signature

\time 2/4
\key d \major
\mark \markup{\bold Allegro }
c
}
\layout{ ragged-right = ##t }


However, I can't figure out any simple method to handle the second case,
except for manually adjusting the parameter of self-alignment-X to make
it look as you wish:

\version "2.10.0"
\relative c''{
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #-0.3
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbol = #'key-signature

\time 2/4
\key cis \major
\mark \markup{\bold Allegro }
c
}
\layout{ ragged-right = ##t }
