Does your car have to sit for 5 mins with the key in and on before it will give you a reading?

In my '08 Boxster, if the car is warm, you have to turn the motor off, then turn the key to on, and wait for 5 mins before it will tell you the oil level. If I had a dipstick, I could do it a lot faster than 5 mins.
