I'm missing something here. When I pull into my garage or a parking spot:

1) Stop with right foot, while depressing clutch
2) Shift into neutral holding right foot on brake
3) Release clutch
4) Lift parking brake
5) Press ignition button once to turn off engine
6) Engage 1st or reverse depending on any slope in the ground.
Total time = ~ 3 seconds.

Why are you having to press the ignition button twice?
