By using the modes function of lircd it may give you what you want.
Attached in an example of a lircrc that can do this.
An here is the output when you press play and menu.
# ircat --config=/etc/freevo/irexecrc irexec
echo "mode1 PLAY"
echo "mode1 -> mode mode2!"
echo "mode2 PLAY"
echo "mode2 -> mode mode1!"
echo "mode1 PLAY"
Googling for "lirc multi mode" may help.

# multiple lirc modes

flags = startup_mode
mode = mode1
end
begin mode1

prog = irexec
