Default shifter interlock issue

when starting the car for the 1st time of the day in very hot weather, 85F+
the shifter interlock needs to be manually turned to get the shifter out of park, but only in those conditions, cool weather its fine, and generally fine for the rest of the day.
any ideas why?
