This sounds very similar to my situation...

In my case, after the car starts the rpm gets super low to a point where the car sounds like its about to stall. So sometimes, after starting the car, I have to press the gas just a little bit to make sure that the car does not turn off...

By the way, when I press the gas paddle (very lightly) after starting the car, this revs for good 1~2 seconds as if I am holding the gas paddle for 1-2 seconds and it gets super loud (loud vrooom!)... but in reality all i did was just a little dab to the gas paddle...

After doing some research I came to a conclusion that it is a dirty throttle body... btw I found about this yesterday and I have yet to clean my throttle, so there is a possibility that it might not be a throttle related... But for me all sources point to throttle...

FYI, my car has 57k miles on it... You might also want to search "issue wtih rpm while idle" as to I found many issues related to this...

GL!!!
