Could be trash in your fuel tank. After sitting still, settles down and gets into intake. Once you start moving the fuel line starts picking up better fuel from swishing around. Perhaps changing the fuel filter if it's built up in trash as well. Just a thought.

You could have a leaky fuel injector. When that happens, as the vehicle sits, raw fuel drips into the cylinder. Then when you start the engine, it runs rough and "stumbles" for a bit until the excess fuel is burned off.

How many miles on these injectors?

You could test this with a fuel pressure gauge and a clamp and the ability to use both......

I'd check your fuel pressure and see how long it takes to leak down after you shut it off.
