Why won't your car start right away?

Most likely the fuel pressure check valve in the fuel pump is going bad. That's not a really big problem, except the slightly delayed start you're noticing. You'd need to double check this with a fuel pressure gauge before replacing anything. I would recommend replacing the fuel filter, however. That is a maintenance item that's usually ignored. If you check the fuel pressure and it's okay after you shut the car off (should stay at least 20 psi), then take it in the repair shop.
