Steering Column Auto Movement

I must say that my 05 XKR has been one of the most trouble free Jaguars I have ever owned. The first problem is very minor and would like to know if anyone out there has any ideas. I have it set so that when you remove the key, the steering wheel rises up out of the way. When you get back in and insert the key, the column is supposed to lower back into place. What mine does is it moves very slightly and other times it moves all the way. It always does something. I can take the key back out and when putting it back in, it moves all the way. I can push the memory button and it will go into place. I figure if the switch was faulty, it would not do anything sometimes but it does move each time, just not all the way. Hope I have described the problem adequately and appreciate any feedback.

Your steering column just needs time to get into it's pre-programmed spot before you start your car. Insert key and turn half way, this allows the steering column to get into position and it allows the fuel pump to pressurize. When your wheel is in position start car and go about your business.

I would suspect the potentiometers in the column. Movement is initiated when the key (or any object for that matter) pushes open the chrome door covering the ignition switch.
The motors (2) in the column start to move the column. The potentiometers(2) feed the column position to body processor module. If there is any corrosion or dirt in the pots
motion ceases. Recommendation clean the pots. Use a good contact cleaner.
