Does this happen all the time or just once in a while? Next time it happens, wiggle the ignition switch. It's common for the contacts to get burned / overheated and for the terminals in the connector to overheat. Usually the radio, heater fan, and power windows are affected too, but it depends on how badly burned the contacts are.
