Anything above 2 or 3 MPH, just use 2nd gear.

From a standstill it should be easy to get into 1st gear, if you're still rolling to a stop it's difficult if you aren't rev-matching.
If you're having a problem getting into 1st gear from a standstill then first change the transmission fluid (or just do it anyways, service interval is 20k miles for 6MT) and if it doesn't make any difference then start saving for a transmission rebuild because your synchro's are probably shot.
