I don't have a problem getting into 1st when it's cold. The transmission in general is much notchier until it warms up but that's normal for most cars.
If it's really cold, I turn the car on, kick into neutral, pop in a CD, wait about 2 mins and then go. The car warms up quicker if you let it sit initially. There was also something about the magic "2 minute warmup".

This has been true in all of my manual shift cars in the winter.
