What you describe can happen on any manual transmission when the car is not moving. It's a question of the first gear dog splines not being able to align. Releasing the clutch, or sometimes just moving the shifter in and out of another gear is enough to move the dogs so they can align in first gear.
makes sense, but odd that it didn't happen at all for the first 7k miles and now happens very regularly..
