after the warm up

Any help here would be awesome. My first mini- 2002 base, manual.
Here's the issue. Brand new clutch installed about 10 months ago (previous owner). Car shifts beautiful, no issues. Sits in a heated garage. Now here goes the problem. For about the first 15 or 20 minutes of driving, depending how many stops you incur, no problem getting rolling in 1st gear, however, my wife and I both find after that it can be extremely tricky (jerky), cannot find the sweet spot. Like I say, the first several starts it's damn near idiot proof, after that frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.
