She's not the sort of girl to just sleep with a guy, so I was surprised this happened once let alone twice.
I don't agree with others that she put you in the friend zone, she is just a type that likes to flirt around, the only advice I can give you is to close the deal when you guys get hot again....
Now, regarding other points in your initial post which may enlighten you a little, even if you don't want to believe in them, they 95% true:

There's two huge obstacles in my way, one she has an ex-boyfriend, who doesn't seem to be going anywhere. They were together for a couple of years and he seems quite possessive. They're also going away on holiday together too, as friends, which is confusing. She's told me she would never get back with him, but the other night at a club he turned up and I saw her kissing him whilst I was having a cigarette (I also think she noticed me as they left to go back into the club.)
Clear and simple: she is fucking him hard. I know a LOT of girls who are not with their exes anymore but fuck them like 3 times a week.

The other obstacle is that my friend is really against us doing anything, because he is such good friends with both of us. We snuck off to the movies about a month ago and when he found out about it, he was livid. He thinks us going any further is the worst thing in the world, which is why I haven't told him about all the other things that has happened, she doesn't want to tell him either. He seems to have a huge influence on what she does in anycase. This is also complicated by the fact everyone we work with keeps commenting on our "connection."
Here too, simple: he is jealous, even if you don't want to believe it, he is.

Power Law 2
Never put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies
Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.
Your friend worries me even more than the girl, pay close attention to his behavior in the future, good luck
