Why does my car not start after sitting for a few months?
After sitting for a few months, your battery (like most batteries would be at that point) has enough power left in it to take care of the low electrical-draw accessories, but not enough to turn the starter over fast enough to start the engine. Everything that you described makes it clear that the battery is extremely weak.
