I havehad achilles tendinitis for some time. I run 3 mi. 3 or 4 x a week, I have cut back. But I haven't comepletely stopped. I know I need to. But I am baffled by the pain seeming most acute when I get out of a car after driving for more than 15 or so minutes. I find myself nearly limping for awhile before the pain eases up and I can resume an almost normal pace. Why is that?

I am not a Dr.....but I had a similar issue. See my post under General Podiatry.

How long has this been going on? Check out the difference between tendonitis and tendonoses.

You may just have plantar fasciitis which you can read more about under the heel pain section of podiatrychannel.com. Heel lifts should help a little but you need to make sure you are strecthing before and after activity as well as before you get out of bed in the morning.
