Thats quite common, its because thebox oil is cold and thick, needs a few miles to warm up. If it is really stiff, press clutch, slot into 2nd then up to 1st, should go in a lot easier.

No a quick shift won't do anything, as that only replaces the gear lever to give you a shorter throw. So if anything, it would make it stiffer.
