last month or so...
has the weather changed in the past month, e.g. sunny and dry?

it's been pretty sunny and dry for most of the winter
however, the weather is the only thing that seems to correlate with it happening.

Damp weather
is more likely to dissipate the charge which you've built up. Low humidity makes for lots of sparks!

easiest solution
is to get a grounding strip/strap for your car... you've probably seen then about, they're plastic looking strips that hang down from the rear underside of the car, some have strips of lightning on them.

Are they the ones with a strip of metal running down the inside?

yeah
sometimes you can find them as just a kind of woven metal thread... but they're way less cool than the plastic lightning strips.
