Mine has been doing the same thing (once every two months or so) for about 2 years. I was kinda wierded out at first. Now its just annoying. It has not yet failed to engage on the second turn of the key.

Most likely you'll have to replace the start. But you can try just the solenoid. It's not that expensive.
