Since the light is off before you start moving, and comes on later, that implies it is a speed mismatch. The ABS looks at each wheel speed, and if one wheel is going at the wrong speed compared to the others and the brakes aren't applied, it will light the light. And it stays latched until the car is shut off.
I second Aaron's idea. The problem is likely the toothed wheel on one of the wheel hubs. The sensor counts the teeth, which require gaps between teeth. If the gaps fill up with metalic gunk, such as bits from the rotors and semi-metallic pads, it can make two teeth look like one, and the reading is off. The solution is to clean the gunk out from between the teeth. If you get a dealer/indy to read out the codes, you can tell which wheel(s) it is(are). Or you can just clean them all.
