Remove terminals from battery, clean battery and cable, reinstall.
Check ground cable from body to engine is intact and not loose.
Remove battery, take to local parts-R-us or Sears for testing, recharge or replace as needed.
Also try putting transmission in neutral for starting.
Oh, if the battery is over four years old, I would junk it.
