Yep - had that with a Galaxy too. Just as if you've got a dead battery.
After a few attempts it usually starts, although I think I usually first put the car in gear, let off the handbrake and rock it a few times - to unstick the starter, if that is the problem.
Since it always starts eventually and then the problem will often disappear for months, a sticking starter seems the most likely cause.
