...when  I first start the car and apply the brakes for the first time, the

couple of  times backing it out of the driveway, it firms up fine.  But if I 
stop  
the car and leave it for a bit, it does the same thing again.  I've bled  the 
system a couple of times with no change....

What, if anything, did you do with the rear brakes? Are shoes new? Have  they 
been adjusted recently? Air in the lines could be the problem, but so could  
rear shoes needing adjustment.
