Early arthritis: Sounds like you have some signs of early arthritis in your knee. Stiffness is quite common in these instances. Once you start moving, the body produces synovial fluid which increases the lubrication between surfaces. Focusing on a low impact, quadriceps strengthening program will help with some of these symptoms and minimize discomfort.
