Sounds like 2nd gear syncro which is a very common problem with most types of gearboxes with age. It's harder when it's just been started because the oil is cold, once it warms up it gets thinner and easier to get it into gear.
Try mixing some ATF with your gearbox oil to thin it out a little, say half a litre.
