What if you cycle the key to the on position for 1 second a few times before you try to start it?
does it matter if the vehicle is hot or cold it how long it's sat overnight, 5 minutes, etc. More details are needed, but to me sounds like maybe a fuel issue.

It only happens when the car has been sitting for a long time, but when the engine is warmed up it starts fine
