Default Restarting the engine

I have a base 2014. Whenever I accidentally kill the engine or shut the engine off and get out and leave the door open, I have a hell of a time restarting. Sometimes the car goes into exit mode, or won't allow restart until I open the door a couple of times. Is there a procedure for restarting the engine? FOrgot to mention its a manual tranny. Thanks, DIck

If I stall the car, which from time to time is inevitable, I just push in the clutch and the start button and it restarts fine. It does take a second or two for the engine to crank. If I get out and then back in I have to go thru the push the seat return button, press in the clutch and push the start button. Have never had to open and shut the door.
