When I first start and drive my car everything seems fine (cold). As soon as the transmission seems to be warm and I park for a couple of minutes, then put it back in gear the transmission does not want to engage. I hear a whirring sound. If I let the car idle it will eventually creep along until it finally finds 1st gear. If I am stop and go without too many delays, everything seems fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The seals are leaking in the pistons inside of the trans. If you are not a DIY, I do recommend the dealer for this. Their transmissions are high quality and priced well.
