Ed, when you are stopped in D with this high idle problem, you are putting extreme pressure on the transmission which will lead very shortly to a Ka Blamo of the transmission.
Don't drive it until you can get this serious problem fixed. My 92 500SL is now sitting in my garage as undriveable until I can get the same problem fixed. My issue is a bad ETA. Again, your transmission is having a serious fight with the engine and guess who's going to win?
