Check the keyswitch as the contacts can get worn. To test, when the car decides to not start, bang the column directly opposite the keyhole and try again. If it starts, then you need to clean/change the switch.

Does the engine turn (like its trying to start) or when you turn the key does it do absolutely nothing (like the battery is dead)?
