This is a pretty typical problem. Mine seems to do this every 6 months or so.

When it happens, try shifting through all gears back and forth several times. Then try to start it. If not: Did you press the PNP switch? Then try to start.

Another thing to try is to thoroughly clean the ground connection in front of the battery attached to the body (that is where it is on my '95) as well as cleaning and tightening battery terminal connections.

I don't believe it is any more serious than these things. I suppose your starter could be going...you'll know that in due time because at some point it won't start at all.
