It could be that you just need a good tune-up. It might be a problem with the fuel pump or its check valve. Next time this happens, turn the key to run only and let the fuel pump prime properly; you'll know when you hear the pump run then stop. If the engine starts quickly after that, have the fuel pump checked.
