Now and then my levers will come all the way back to the bar. After the bikes been in the car or something similar.

Usually I just pump the lever loads and it returns to normal. I'm guessing there is an air bubble somewhere? Should I bleed them, or is it just not worth it?

A lot of brakes go spongy after the bikes been left upside down or on it's side, it's air from the reservoir going into the system, if they work ok after being pumped a few times and don't pull to the bar while your riding then they'll be fine
If it happens when your riding then give em a bleed
