Assuming this car is still under warranty, I would take it to the dealer and get it checked out. If the warranty has expired, I would check the fuel system for a slight leak. A fuel injection system requires a pressurized fuel system. If you have a slight pressure leak, you will need to crank the engine a little longer to build up the pressure in the fuel line by running the fuel pump. Once the car is running, the pressure is at the proper level. You can shut the engine off and re-start it without any problems since the pressure has not dropped below the critical point. Of course it may not be this at all and it may turn out to be an electrical issue, but this is a start.
