Wheels seizing?!

2013 Automatic Sport-Tech BRZ

I travel a lot and the car sits outside for 10 days at a time. I get the following problem if there has been rain/snow while I've been away:

When I put the car in reverse, and take my foot off the brake, the car doesn't initially move. It takes a half second and it feels as if something gets unstuck, with a jarring sensation. While initially driving away, it sounds like I hear grinding. After I've driven the car wherever and come back, the sound isn't there and doesn't happen again unless I leave it sit for some time.

Wondering if anyone else has encountered this... I don't want to just take it to the dealership and try and explain this problem (can't reproduce it after I've driven the car there). Seems like the ideal time for them to fleece a customer with additional repairs.

TIA
