Used to happen to me too ... FWIW here's the advice I got from a Ford mechanic and I haven't experienced it since (not sure I buy it TBH) ... after turning the ignition on, wait a second or two before turning it to the 'start' position ... something to do with giving the fuel pump a little time to build pressure ... apparently more of a problem if the car's been sitting for a while.
