2000 S-Type 3.0 Takes Several Key Turns to Start

About 2 weeks ago, my 2000 S-Type 3.0 starting having some issues starting. When I insert the key, it starts to beep. I turn the key, the seat moves to the memorized position. Then when I turn the key further to start, about 3 out of 4 times, nothing happens. On the 4th time, it starts up just fine. Any clue on what is happening and how to fix it?

When I turned turned the key and it wouldn't, the PATS light would flash continuously. So I was wondering if it's a PATS issue based on the previous post.
I then swapped the key (I have two keys), and I have NOT had an starting issue with the 2nd key.
So I do resolve the starting issue with the 1st key?
