sounds like a starter to me, but can't really be certain without seeing it myself. veyr hard to diagnose problems over the internet.
try hitting the key again and again.. sometimes if the starter solenoid is going out, you'll have to hit the key switch several times before it works and turns the car over.
usually that's a slowly progressing thing too- has it ever done this before?

Take a 12 gauge wire from your pos + battery hookup on the starter or another known "hot" lead and then apply it to the hook up on the starter solenoid that activates the starter. If it turns over, then the starter itself is good, and you have to check the solenoid, relay, etc. Figure out where the juice isn't flowing from.
When you do it VERY Careful that you don't ground the hot lead. You can do some damage.
