Manual Honda Civic 2019. Rarely from a stop my stick won’t shift into the first gear

So I've driven manual my entire life, but this is my first new car. I notice that the stick moving into the various gears is not a smooth experience and occasionally from stopped position pushing the gear stick into first gear it just won't budge until I let the wheels roll a little. I have had this happen before on 10 year old cars and figured it was just due to age. Is this okay on a new car?
