Plantar Fasciitis pain is worst when you have been non weight bearing for any given period of time allowing the plantar fascia to "draw up". Your placing weight on it again then stretches it back out thus tugging on your (no doubt) spurred calcaneus.

There are orthotics (foot stretchers) you can wear at night called night splints. Otherwise, roll a frozen juice can under your foot to reduce inflammation and stretch out your feet before taking your first steps in the morning or after a long drive.
You have a problem that may go away with podiatric intervention...I wish you luck.
