not always, especially if you park with your front end higher than the rear... fuel tends to bleed back towards the tank, when you crank the car, most of the air is returned to the tank, or pushed out of the path, then when you restart the fuel is purged, and it runs well.
another possibility is bad glow plugs, causing a cylinder or two not to fire up at first.
