Another thing is to get some heat into your engine before you start.
If you've left the car in the garage overnight, it will have got very cold and will not be easy to start due to high friction.

Borrow the mrs's hairdryer or your own and warm up the chassis and heatsink head with the hairdryer for a good 5 mins. Then leave for about a minute to let the heat 'soak' through to the engine and 'free' the engine up.

If you don't have a hairdryer, the footwell of a car with the heater on is as good a place as any or ontop of a radiator.
