This may sound silly, but are you low on fuel? Hondas are VERY picky when low on fuel.

Next time you go to crank up, do this. Put the key in the on-position like your about to start it, but dont actually crank it over. Let it go for a few seconds. Then try starting the car. It might just be because there isn't enough fuel in the system and it loses fuel from the lines, so it takes a second to pressurize it.
