A lot of cars get this, especially those with hydraulic tappets. The tappets can pump up and keep the valves off their seats, so there's not very much compression when trying to restart. My old Mondeo did it.
It's called 'lawnmower syndrome' (people starting their cars so they can get the lawnmower out of the garage)
