I have had good results storing it in tight-sealing Tupperware containers.
This seems to keep it soft for prolonged periods.

You can "resurrect" it by putting it in a tightly sealed container with
something to provide moisture.  Apples, bread, etc. have been suggested; I've
used just a folded damp paper towel -- if you do this, lay it on top of a 
chunk of waxed paper or plastic wrap rather than directly on the surface of
the sugar.  Remove the apple/bread/paper after a couple days.
