This is typical of a leak onto the flywheel. As the car sits, oil leaks onto the friction surface, and leaves a stripe of fluid that causes clutch chatter (what your symptom is called) on engagement. As you drive, the oil is spread out, cooked and centrifugally spun off, and it improves as you drive, 'till you park it again.
Only thing I'm not sure of is if it is possible for a rear main to leak onto the friction side of the flywheel on a Honda. Don't remember what the setup looks like. Possible the slave could be leaking onto it, too, but I'd think you woulda lost all your fluid by now.
