smoke on start up

I have a peculiar problem that is very embarrassing. If I start my 2006 F150 5.4 L and shut it off within a minute or 2, the next time that I start it, it will blow out a huge cloud of blue smoke. It doesn't do this after a normal drive when the engine has been warmed up, it only does this following a short start, then shut off, then re-start (as described above). It has done this since brand new. The truck is now 3 years old and has 28000 miles on it with plenty of TLC. Does anyone have any ideas?
