difficult to understand what you mean here.

Are you saying that when stopped with it in Drive, if you take your foot off then the thing is trying to set off? If so, what revs is it ticking over at, what do the revs increase to if you knock it into neutral or park?

sounds like either your tickover is too high (anything you have done to the car recently?) or the line pressure on the box is too high.
