Is this after its been raining? This happens to me after the cars been sat in rain or washed and the brakes stick a bit when you first drive off.

Sounds like it is just the pads sticking. Tends to do it after a load of rain and you get that bit of corrosion on them. Nothing to worry about.

Is it a dsg or manual? As others have stated it could be rain getting on to discs etc, mine used to do that but i started putting foot on brake pedal before putting in to 'P' which stops any roll back when enganged in park, this solved the issue on my dsg

Hope that helps
