Your starter motor is getting stuck. Mine did it - I used to just keep trying until it free'd.. then One day it totally jammed..

Not hard. Fiddly yes..
It's simply 3 bolts - 2 electrical connectors. At the back of the engine though.
Some people go from above.. others underneath.. Both ways fiddly.

or you put it in gear and rock the car back and forth to free it?
sure that's what I used to do with my metro... stick it in 2nd and rock it.
then try starting it
