There are a few reasons this could happen but the most likely is that the Thermostat is stuck open. This means when you don't have much load on the engine the Coolant which powers your heater does not have enough time to warm up. Then while driving you put a load on the engine, increasing the amount of heat created which will warm the coolant.
There could be other reasons for this is well, but I believe that in most vehicles replacing the thermostat is a somewhat simple and inexpensive job.

Car heater blows cold air when not driving?
Common causes include low coolant, air trapped in the system, a thermostat stuck open, or a weak water pump. When you’re driving, the engine spins faster and moves coolant better, so you get heat. At idle, that flow drops, and the heater turns cold. At Stewart’s Automotive of Sacramento, a driver came in complaining the heater only worked on the freeway. The inspection showed low coolant from a small leak, and once that was repaired and the system topped off, the heater stayed warm even at stoplights.

Why would a car only blow cold air when driving?
A car blowing cold air only while driving usually means: Low coolant level – not enough heat at idle Air trapped in system – blocks heater flow Weak/bad water pump – works better at higher RPM Partially clogged heater core – needs more flow to heat When you drive, coolant moves faster, so you finally get heat.
