Default "Bad start" Anyone else ever do this?

Two or three times since I've owned my '06 GT, I've accidently released my key early before the engine started, and it sent my computer into complete confusion. Then it takes a couple of minutes of cranking and very rough idle before the engine wants to act right again.

Anyone else have this happen?

Yeah..a couple of times. usually tho, I just turn the key to the completely off position, wait a second and crank it again and eveyrthing is fine.
