Stalls then won't start when weather warms up

This has happened to me twice recently. First time I drove my regular commute home then stopped at the mall to get some last-minute Christmas gifts. As I accelerated to cross an intersection from a complete stop, the engine quit suddenly. I tried in vain to start it again and called AAA. When the driver showed up he said, "Howlong's it been since you tried?" It had been nearly an hour. He suggested I try again and it started right up.
Second was just the other night, about three weeks later. I drove home and stopped to get gas. After filling up, I started the car hit the pedal to pull away from the pump and it died. Again, I couldn't start it. I let it sit for 5-10 minutes and tried again but no good. Luckily, I was only two blocks from home so I went home, had dinner, and went back to try again about an hour and a half later. Once again, it started right up.
The only thread I can see between the two incidents is that each time was the first day of a significant warm-up in the weather. It was not raining either day and the roads were not wet from snow-melt (so I don't think it's wet cables or a wet distributor, etc).
Anyone else seen this? Anyone solved it? Thanks in advance for your help.
