How do I get my wife to change her shifting habits?

Every morning when my wife gets in our 2005 9-5 Arc wagon, in one continuous motion she starts the engine, puts it into gear, puts on her seatbelt, and pulls away. Less than 5 seconds elapsed time.
When she puts it into gear, the car is idling at about 1300-1500 rpm resulting in a hard shift. We've already had engine mounts replaced under warranty and now we're out of warranty.
I've tried several times to calmly and politely explain to her that this is causing premature wear and potentially damage to the engine and transmission.
Let's just say that my wife, while I love her, is a bit, ummm, stubborn.
