07 2.0 Temporary power steering failure - lol@theknoll

After a 60 mile run Iparked up for approx 30 mins. When I started the car to drive off the PS light remained on and the power steering did not work. I switched off and tried again 2 or 3 times with no result. I rang the R.A.C. and while waiting for recovery I had to move the car forward a couple of feet to get in the boot. The PS light went out on start up and the power steering worked normally!!! Needless to say I am having the system checked out today, but my phone conversations with my Toyota Dealer indicate that they do not know what the problem may be. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
