Correct me if I am wrong but in every car I have ever owned or worked on the 
starter gear is not engaged into the flywheel until power is applied to the 
starter. That being the case merely "pushing the car forward" would not do 
anything to help diagnose the problem as it would not turn the starter past its 
"dead spot".

It sounds like you may have a dead spot in your starter. 

When it happens again, try pushing the car forward a little at a time until
you find a point where it starts. If you roll it backwards and it fails to
start, you have a dead spot for sure.
