Every car that I've ever had would blow warmer air at idle than it would while driving down the road, but not warm - my '03 coupe does that. It still blows cool air when stopped, just not quite as cold as it does while driving along.
Just curious... Have you checked to see that your system is fully charged?

^ This.
Also, have a look at your temp gauge. If your temp is climbing up when stopped, your radiator is "heat soaking" your condenser.
Clean the condenser well (even if it means removal). Sometimes, just washing it (from the backside outwards) will help - You'd be surprised how much funk builds up on the fins.
