I had the same problem with my truck. I asked the garage to do a fuel pressure test and they found 2 bad regulators. I had both of them replaced and I've never had it happen since. It fires up immediately now, all the time.

you could be loosing fuel pressure when you shut off your car and that would cause a long crank time. try keying it up twice or 3 times before you accualy crank the engine and see if it fires right up then you know what the problem is.
