Could be a drained/low battery. It could also be your alternator. Check the battery first, because checking out the alternator should be left to your dealer.

Make sure you don't have any other keys close to the ignition when you start the car. The immobilizer may be affected by other keys that you have on your key chain.

Stupid, I know, but you don't want to take your car to the shop when you may have a problem as small as this.
