Is the smoke coming from the tailpipe, or just more generally from the back of the car?

Sounds to me like your valve covers are leaking a little oil on your heat exchangers. As the exhaust heats up during the first few minutes of operation, the oil burns off and you see oil smoke behind you. When you park your car, the valve covers drip a little, and the cycle repeats itself the next time your drive.
