It sounds to me like you have a faulty contact on your ignition switch. This contact is not making on every occasion that you turn the key and that could be why you get the intermittent starting situation. I would think an Auto Electrician would be worh a visit.
Was there any work done in the Steering Column area as part of your recent service. If yes then revert to whoever serviced the car for you.
