Have you tried putting the fob in the slot in the glove box to start the car?
Where is the fob when you're trying to start the car now? Any electronic devices plugged into an electrical outlet in the car when you're trying to start it?

Make sure you don't have any electronic devices in the same pocket or near your fob. I have had problems if my fob was too near my cell phone or ipod or just about anythng electrical. I know keep my fob in a pocket by itself and usually have no problems.

Are there any electrical mods on the car, like aftermarket sound system or hardwired radar detector, etc?
Did the condition start suddenly, or has it been gradual?

As long as the slot in the glove box is working, you can put a fob with a dead battery in it in the slot and it will start the car. If you don't do it that way, a fob with a dead battery will not start the car.

funny,. I recently changed the batteries in both my fobs... the indication I got was that upon approaching the car after locking it... and going to open the passenger door first, it would not open (putting my gym bag in after working out)...went to the drivers side and it opened fine..
changed the batteries and it works like day one now... strange.
