Chances are your thermostat is stuck open. Your cars thermostat sits in a coolant passage. When the car is running your coolant begins to heat up, and at a certain temperature your thermostat opens up and lets coolant flow to the radiator to dispel the heat of the engine to the air. When your thermostat is stuck open, instead of the coolant staying in the engine until it heats up it is constantly circulating through the radiator transferring heat to the atmosphere. When your cars sits still it heats up because the amount of air passing through the radiator is minimal, but as you begin to drive the air flow is increased.
