I had my AC replaced a few months ago but noticed that the air warms up when the car is idle. This was noticeable on the freeway when I hit traffic. The car does cool okay when we're moving which initially made me think it was the radiator/AC fans. However, I can put the car in park and the air warms up until I give it some gas and then it cools down. Does this sound like a bad compressor? Maybe too much/little refrigerant? Thanks for your thoughts.

If it was a too little or too much of a charge issue I would say too little of charge.I would take it back to where you spent all that money to have it fixed.
