I would get your ignition switch changed otherwise it's going to let you down somewhere when you are out . no programming needed , just a straight change job .
Try starting it at least 50 ( Fifty) times it is likely it will start on one of those attempts .

Very helpful thanks would you recommend getting it done at a garage or is it fairly do-able?

it is doable but not easy , you need to take the instruments out and loosen the underside of the dash above your left knee and wedge the edge of the dash out a bit under the ignition switch . there are two torx screws holding the switch on from the back they face towards the rear of the car so a bit tricky , ok with small flexible hands ...
