Yup, definitely sounds like a stuck open thermostat, or a thermostat not even being there at all.
It gets warm when you're sitting there because there's no air flowing through the radiator. The coolant gets warmed by the engine, and flows through your heater core and you get warm air. As soon as you start driving, since the thermostat is open (or not there), the coolant continuously cycles through not giving it time to "heat up" so you don't get hot air from the vents.
Any Honda thermostat is fine, or even just an OEM replacement at Pep Boys or something. That's what I use.
