No start after parking... V70-XC70 2000

This started happening in January and it happens once or twice a month. Not a big deal but I wonder if I can fix it.

The no start happens warm or cold. I turn the key to start, the dash lights go on but nothing happens. If I then move the shifter through the gears and then try starting again, it works.

It seems somehow related to the shifter position sensor or even a neutral safety switch.

I have a hunch that it happens when I put the shifter into park a little too quickly when parking but I am not sure. For now when parking, I always move the shifter to neutral before I park, then I turn off the engine and put it in Park. By doing this, the problem never happens.

Wondering what the problem might be and if it is something I can easily fix?
