My 2008 behaves similarly but not exactly how you describe.

When I insert the key, I have to wait before attempting to start the car. Granted, it's not very long. But in a world of instant gratification, 1-second feel like an eternity to some.

It doesn't matter whether I depressed the clutch pedal or not.

Next time you go to start it, try this.

Pop key in, depress clutch pedal. Take one breath, hold, breathe out, then start.

That should do it. I don't think the clutch pedal has anything to do with it but I may be wrong.

I usually just wait for dash lights to come on before pressing the start button. Otherwise, nothing happens.
