Sometimes there is a bad connection in the ignition switch in combination with the gear shifter. Try wiggling around the two a bit when you turn it to start. But first, can you tell us if there are any bad fuses? Check the fuses.

This sounds like a "heat soak"issue(something is failing on a hot engine shutoff).The low tech solution I used to use often was a can of brake cleaner.Get the car hot,shut it off,and try to restart.If it wont,try spraying a quick burst of cleaner at various sensors(to cool them off) and trying to start it again.The most common sensor I would find as the cause was the crankshaft position sensor.(Sometimes a little tough to get at).
For the hard starting, try putting the key in, turn to the ON position and verify all dashboard lights come on. If they do, from the on position, jiggle the key around while gently pressing in, then try starting. If it starts, replace the ignition switch, you can do this yourself. Sometimes it is the ignition switch and the key tumbler. Both cost under $80. For the stalling and starting, replace the throttle body, I would get this part from the dealer even if it costs a bit more. Doing these two things will save you hundreds by not going to the dealer. If this an automatic transmission?
Possible low fuel presure at idle. If new fuel filter does nt fix , then it will require a new "fuel pump". Have you driven this car on low fuel level often?
