I've had a similar problem, and I'm sure we're not alone. It's worth making sure you switch the radio off before the ignition, otherwise it can drain power even though it appears to be off.
I have recently bought a trickle charger to address this problem, but am curious to note that the instructions recommend attaching the neutral lead to a body-part well away from the battery. If connecting to a battery outside the car, they recommend using a long lead between the neutral battery post and the crocodile clip from the charger. Is it not safe to attach both crocodile clips to the battery posts? If not, why not?
