The car is 5.5 months old and has 15000 miles on it, so the battery and everything else should be fresh.

As for the tapping and releasing. The ECU takes over the starting process. The key is merely a signal, unlike other cars where you are in control of how long the starter stays in. It's not so much a tap as just a very short time spent in the start position, but I really doubt that's the cause since it goes through the whole process of continuing to crank for 3 or 4 seconds until it starts.
