What do you need to check if a car won't start after it has been parked for several months?

The first thing you want to check is your battery state of charge. If your car has been sitting that long, I can almost guarantee that your battery is dead. If it's been sitting that long, your best bet is to replace the battery.

Check for spark at the plugs, if good, then check for fuel. Also check the fuel shut off in the trunk. The breaker might have tripped.

How can you get your car started if it hasn't been started for 5 months?
First, I would check the oil and coolant to make sure neither one is outdated. Look for water in your oil and check to see how black and gritty it is. Then, probably just hook jumper cables up to it (if it doesn't start by itself) and it should start. I would let it run for several minutes to let the engine relubricate itself.
