Mine does this once every 2 weeks... at night
It tries to turn over but nothing gives until you take the key out and let it sit then try it again.
Take it to the dealer if it does it routinely...
starter problems maybe.

Too many things can cause this fuel pressure regulator bleeding down, maf sensor, and etc. Try this and see if it works turn you key on and wait 5-10 seconds before starting the first time to let fuel pressure build up and see what happens. If it works fine it could be FPR or a weak fuel pump. How many miles on your car and what mods?

My tC took a long time to start when it had low miles. Did leaving the key on for a few seconds before starting help?
