Couple of thoughts as well.
I ride a lot on my road bike each year. We have a harsh winter here, so from December to March I ski/snowshoe etc and don't really ride. When I get back on the bike in March my butt hurts bad after the first few rides. I think the bone just has to get used to the seat again. So just getting back on a few more times might make things better.
It's also possible that your seat truly isn't comfortable anymore, because the passage of time has changed it for the worse. Padding may have shrunk and compressed, the saddle cover may have changed due to aging, and the shape of the whole seat itself may be different now. You may have to spring for a new saddle. Where was the bike kept all these years? Was it subject to changing temeratures and humidity?
