Hi, for the night shot, you could probably use ISO100 and set aperture to any value and time accordingly. A longer time will make the light trails from the car show up. Not sure if that is the effect you want. But it would be something I would do. Just my 2 cents.

Could you share with us the following details:
1) EXIF details of each picture? (shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length)
2) Which focus point did you choose? (which of the 9 AF point was used for each photo, go to ZoomBrowser EX and show the Auto focus point)
3) What mode did you used to take the photo? (A-DEP, M, Av, Tv, P or Auto)

Here's my 2 cents worth:
1) For the spider shot, the review shows that the 18-55 is pretty soft at 55mm f/5.6. I guess you could have tried 1/15 f/11 if you wanted more sharpness across the whole frame. With the IS offering 3-stop advantage, handheld shot might be steady enough at 1/15 (depending on how steady your hand is). If you've wanted the spider to be in focus, you could have focus lock on the spider before re-composing you photo. Alternatively, choose another AF point (of the 9 AF) which the spider is on.
2) For the tiger shot, this review shows that @ 135mm the 55-250 lens sharpness peaked at f/8.0-11. With f/8.0-11, you shutter speed would be around 1/320-1/160 and you picture will have less problem with subject movement or hand shake. Try to avoid going beyond f/16 as diffraction could degrade the sharpness.
3) For the elephant shot, the 18-55 should be quite sharp @ 18mm across frame (sharpest in the centre). However, at f/3.5 the Depth of field (DOF) is quite shallow. If you've wanted the whole face of the elephant, including the trunk to be in focus, you could have increase the aperture to f/5.6-8.0. With f/5.6-8.0, the shutter speed may drop to 1/10-1/20, you might want to up the ISO to 1600 so as to increase the shutter speed to 1/20-1/40, with the IS turned on to prevent hand shake. Best is to take a few shots @ f/5.6-8.0 with both ISO 800 and ISO 1600 and choose the sharpest image when you review the images on PC. Bearing in mind that higher ISO will produce more noise, thus reducing sharpness.
I always choose my own AF point rather than leaving it for the camera to decide. By choosing my own AF point, the photos usually turns out closer to what I have in mind. And since the memory card is already paid for, I almost always shot in continuous mode with AF set to AI SERVO. It always better to take a few more shots and choose the sharpest than to return home without sufficiently sharp images.

1. Try and get the right part of your picture in focus. I see that you got the area in front of the spider in focus at f5.6 it was not enough to get the spider and the leaf in focus.
2. aperture too high
3. higher aperture.
at low focal lengths, handheld you should be able to do 1/5secs shutterspeed if you hold your camera properly. like shooting rifle. breathe out, arms tucked in, press trigger slowly etc..

i think the point made by the expert here is about focusing.
1) Spider, u should have focus it direct on the spider. DOF can be shallow or medium. just to contrast the pic.
2) Tiger, well taken in a sense that u want to shoot all things in a pic. if you wanna to outstanding the tiger, use bigger aperture aka lower F stop number. however, u may wanna brighten ur pic a bit
3) Elephant, i feel it is out of focus. like expert say, use high f stop number.
