It could be one of two things:
a) Ignition switch
b) The parking interlock microswitch or it's wiring.

The ignition switch would be the easy guess, but it generally affects other electrical components in the car as well and the symptoms get worse with time.
So I don't give it the priority in this case.

As in the manual transmission cars that have the clutch interlock microswitch which needs to be closed in order for the car to start, the tiptronic-equipped cars have a park interlock microswitch that does the same thing.
Check this one first.

Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
