Does it happen when the car sits for a prolonged period of time?

usually I'd say yea...but today I pulled it out of the garage and was working on a bike, than an hour later I went to pull it back in and that happened again, horrible idle and smoke coming from the engine, I immediately turned it off, turned it back on 5 secs later and it started up fine and I pulled it in...
