Setting aside the cold difficulty vs after driving:
If you have two keys, and haven't tried the alternate yet, see if that works better. Although the blade doesn't have teeth as such, perhaps the groove pattern is worn and misaligning with the "tumblers." (No idea what's in there!) Worn conventional keys can have this issue, and sometime pulling back a minute amount before turning helps. So, perhaps it's not either part of the switch. One or both your keys may need new blades.
(Edit:) ) I'm reaching back 11 years here to my 2001, but doesn't your car have a valet key for the ignition only? Give that a try, too. The blade on that ought to be in great shape.
