i suspect the car is forgeting it has a key in it...
i suspect either a can-bus fault within the communications between the engine ecu and the immobiliser via the transponder in the key. or a simple bad earth somewhere!!!

It happens to me when trying to accelerate quickly. While still in motion leaving the clutch engaged in gear, quickly turn the engine on and off. A bit disconcerting in the fast lane but it can be done very quickly.
