Do you mean the car wont turn over or just wont start??

have you got a spare key that you can try as the key you are using can decode itself, hence not starting the car.

Does the engine sound like its turnin over faster than it usually does when it does start, then it will be cambelt failure, pull the cambelt cover away and check the belt tension, should be tight and not loose at all
