I am hoping(!) that this soreness will abate. Please someone tell me that it won't last long.

Just like a new pair of jeans, you'll get used to the seat and the seat will start conforming to you. With time both parts of the system will be synchronized. I took a 3 month hiatus from cycling (thanks to all the Southern California rain this year), and the first couple of rides this spring was the proverbial pain in the butt.
