Parked, came out 10 mins later and the gauge was then up to 140 or 160.... it jumped a lot while parked which makes me think its slow to move in general...

Car sitting can actually warm the car up, it is just sitting static with all the heat staying around it.
Same thing happens when you drive for awhile and you get to 200 degrees and park for a bit and come out and the temp is 220+.
