The fuel rail/system is losing pressure when it sits.
Each time you turn the key on, the fuel pump runs for a second or two then stops, so cycling the key "on/off" a few times re-pressurizes the fuel system.

First get a match.........lol, joking

Check for any obvious leaks at the rail, clean your hands then feel fuel line areas then smell your fingers to see if you can pick up a gas smell to localize the leak, could even be at the fuel filter under the cab.
Leaking gas always leaves a residue.
