I’ve owned 15 + 911s both in Ireland and US over a 30 year period. To resolve that problem I would remind myself the ignition was always between the drivers door and steering wheel. Then I discovered some information (not sure how true) that as Porsche were race cars they were designed to allow the driver to enter the car and turn the ignition key and start the car during the process of entry, ensuring a quicker getaway. Remember when they would run to the car from the other side of the track and jump in and start at Le Mans/other races. This thought always sorted my mind each time I entered either left or right handed models.
Edit. If left hand drive car then your right was free to use gear lever to engage first and vice versa.
