1st is always difficult to engage if you are already moving. Generally it's not a good idea to downshift to 1st and there is really no reason to, either. 2nd is more than enough as long as you are moving. 1st is really meant to be used from a stop.

If you absolutely must downshift into 1st while moving and you are having trouble with engagement try double clutching.
