That won't do it as your car warms up faster when moving. As ronster said, until the oil is warm, there is no reading.
I find that when outside temps are around freezing, it takes about 6 miles and in 90o weather the oil is sufficiently warm in about two miles.
And you will get the oil level reading while moving - it's the dash computer "Service Info" page which requires the car to be idling while stopped.
